What causes water, fire and mold damage in Somerville

The risks in Somerville are shaped by Virginia's climate and housing. Virginia's Tidewater floods from storm surge and nor'easters, its Piedmont and mountains see flash floods and tropical remnants, and humid summers keep crawlspaces damp. Winter freezes and ice storms still cause burst pipes, particularly in older homes. Problems tend to peak during late summer through fall, and winter cold snaps, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Somerville, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Nor'easters that combine heavy rain or snow with wind-driven moisture and long power outages
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

Before the crew arrives

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

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Somerville

Basements are standard in this part of the country, so finished lower levels, sump pumps and floor drains are the first things a crew checks.

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. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
