Local risks: Oreland and Montgomery County

Oreland shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

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

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

The calendar matters here: burst pipes cluster in the coldest weeks of winter, while basement and roof leaks follow the heavy rains of spring and summer. 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.
