WATER DAMAGE CLEANUP SERVICES IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE

Water damage property claims are on the rise in New Hampshire. From typical frigid New England temperatures to a sudden burst of warmth, the recent weather patterns have proven to be quite unpredictable for property owners. The extreme forecast that hit southern New Hampshire at the end of the year, left many residents with water damaged properties after experiencing heavy rainfall and severe wind that caused massive power outages. As the temperatures plummeted, many residents were left with interior water, frozen pipes and no electricity to address these issues resulting in a water damage emergency.

HOW TO AVOID WATER DAMAGE

Look out for Moisture or Mold in the Home

If your walls feel cold to the touch, or you notice a musty smell, then that might be a sign of water damage waiting to occur in your home. At this point, you should consider adding additional insulation. You should also check windows and skylights for condensation in the mornings as  the presence of such can indicate higher than average moisture levels in your home. Other signs of moisture would be flaking paint or wallpaper, and speckled marks on skirting and sills.

Know where the water supply valve is

Ensure that not only you know where it is, but that your family members know too. A severe leak or rupture can take only minutes to cause severe damage. Knowing where and how to shut off the water supply is crucial.

Check your sump pump works

This is important for homes with basements, the sump pump plays a critical role in ensuring your basement won’t flood after prolonged spells of rain. If you have one, ensure it’s properly maintained and serviced once a year.

Prevent pipes from freezing

Use a smart thermostat to maintain a minimum temperature of at least 10 degrees Celsius in your home, even if you plan on being away. Warm water must be able to circulate through pipes to prevent freezing damage from occurring. If a property is going to be unoccupied for long periods, turn off the water supply at the stopcock and consider draining the system so no water is left in the pipes.

Proactively check for leaks

Minor leaks can pass undetected with relative ease yet do significant damage if left over time. Consider that a leaky tap can displace up to 57 gallons (260 liters) of water a week. So check underneath sinks and around appliances like dishwashers and washing machines for signs of stray water.
