Common property damage problems in Drexel Hill

Local conditions in Drexel Hill follow the broader pattern across Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's rolling terrain funnels heavy rain into flash floods, its rivers crest after spring snowmelt and tropical remnants, and its older homes and basements are prone to seepage, sewer backups and burst pipes in winter. Problems tend to peak during spring and the late-summer tropical remnant season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

First steps for Drexel Hill property owners

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Drexel Hill

Whatever the construction type in Drexel Hill, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
