Local risks: Minisink Hills and the surrounding area

Property owners in Minisink Hills 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

Before the crew arrives

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Minisink Hills

Every property type in Minisink Hills 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.
