Local risks: Salford and the surrounding area

Property owners in Salford 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 Salford, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

Whatever the construction type in Salford, 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.
