Top Causes of Water Damage in Cold Spring Harbor, NY Home Water Damage

Of all the issues that can affect your home, water damage is arguably the worst. Not only is it a major disruption, but it can pose serious risks to your safety and your health. Water damage can compromise the structural integrity of your Suffolk County house, as it can warp, rot, and corrode building materials.

It can also facilitate bacteria and mold growth, and depending on the cause, the water can contain toxic substances, biohazard materials, and dangerous pathogens. It can severely damage or completely destroy your personal possessions, too. As if all of that wasn’t bad enough, water removal and damage mitigation can be exorbitant.

Needless to say, it’s easy to see why water damage is such a nightmare. To minimize the damage, reduce the risk of danger – and lessen the financial burden – contacting a Cold Spring Harbor, NY water damage restoration company is a must. The sooner the problem is addressed, the better. Being able to identify the root cause of the problem as soon as possible is important so that you can address the problem early on and take action before it worsens.

The following are some of the common causes of water damage in Suffolk County.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks are the most common (and the most obvious) causes of water damage. However, while they may be an obvious cause, unless it’s under a sink, plumbing problems can be difficult to detect. Most of the pipes and hoses are hidden from view, as they’re buried inside the walls. As such, you likely won’t know there’s a leak until you spot the signs of water damage.

Pipe Bursts

Another common cause of water damage in homes are leaks that occur as a result of pipes that burst in cold temperatures. In Suffolk County, temperatures often dip below freezing during the winter. Plumbing pipes that run along or inside exterior walls have little to no insulation, so when the temperature dips, they’re at risk of freezing, and when that happens, there’s a chance that the pipes will burst.

Water Heater Issues

Water heaters are another common culprit of water damage. Age, constant use, and poor installation are just some of the factors that can contribute to water heater issues. If the tank corrodes or a component breaks, there’s a very real chance that the contents will pour out, resulting in a flood that can cause serious water damage in your Suffolk County home. Having your water heater inspected by a professional and paying attention to its condition can help to offset the risk of danger.

Severe Weather

Severe weather isn’t uncommon in Suffolk County. Heavy, wind-swept rains, nor’easters, blizzards, and ice storms can result in roof leaks, septic tank overflow, and overtaxed gutters. Making sure your roof is in good condition, that your septic tank is well-maintained, and that your gutters are clear and in good shape can help to reduce the risk of weather-related water damage.

Some information about Cold Spring Harbor, NY

Cold Spring Harbor is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Huntington, in Suffolk County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. As of the 2010 United States census, the CDP population was 5,070.

Cold Spring Harbor was named after the naturally cold freshwater springs that flow in the area. Its economy mainly tied to milling and port activities, it rose in prominence as a whaling community in the mid-nineteenth century. After the decline of whaling in the 1860s, it became a resort town with several hotels. In the 20th century it became known as the site of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, although the laboratory itself is located in the adjacent village of Laurel Hollow in Nassau County, which was called Cold Spring before incorporation.

Today it is primarily a bedroom community of New York City, with a small central business area running along Route 25A, and is home to many educational and cultural organizations: the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum, the Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery and Aquarium, Dolan DNA Learning Center, the Uplands Farm Sanctuary (home of The Nature Conservancy’s Long Island chapter), and a museum exhibition gallery run by Preservation Long Island.
