Local risks: Flourtown and Montgomery County

Property owners in Flourtown deal with the same regional risks found throughout 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.

In Flourtown, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

What to do right now

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Every property type in Flourtown has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

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.
