Common causes on the Cape
- Frozen and burst pipes in crawlspaces, exterior walls, unheated basements and seasonal homes whose heat failed or was turned down too far.
- Ice dams that back meltwater under shingles and into ceilings and walls.
- Nor'easters and tropical storms that drive rain through siding, windows and roofs.
- Basement water from heavy rain, high groundwater or a failed sump pump.
- Coastal flooding in low areas along Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay, which needs extra cleaning.
What a restoration provider does
- Stop the water and check moisture in walls, floors and framing.
- Extract water and remove ruined materials.
- Dry the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers, with daily readings.
- Clean and treat to prevent mold.
- Repair with your insurer.
Right now
- Shut off the main water valve, often in the basement near the meter.
- If the house is cold, keep the heat on once the water is off to help drying and prevent more freezing.
- Stay out of basements with water near the electrical panel.
- Photograph everything and call your insurer.
