Common property damage problems in Venetia

Property owners in Venetia 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:

• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

First steps for Venetia property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Venetia

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

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.
