Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water removed before it travels further into the building - the first step after any failure, and the one that shows how far the water went.

Frozen & Burst Pipe Damage
Pipes split while frozen and leak when they thaw. The water arrives on the warm day, often days after the cold that caused it.

Vacant & Second-Home Water Damage
A leak in an occupied house is found in hours. In an empty one it runs until the next visit, and that time is the size of the loss.

Snowmelt & Runoff Flooding
A winter of snow melts in a few weeks. Frozen or saturated ground sends it toward the lowest point, which is often a basement.

Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage
Snow melts over the warm roof and refreezes at the eave. The ridge of ice holds water back until it finds its way inside.

Sewage & Septic Backup Cleanup
A septic system that cannot drain - frozen lines, thawing ground - sends water back to the lowest drain in the building. It is sewage whatever it looks like.

What fails in Stratton
Serving Stratton and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Just 16.4 percent of the homes in Stratton are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1963, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. Nearly a third of the houses were built before 1940, and an old house kept warm by a stove cools quickly once its owner is gone for more than a day.
Climate & seasonal risk
The freeze season in Stratton runs 5 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 17.7 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 18.81 inches in a normal year, 3.34 fall in July, the wettest month, both figures recorded at STRATTON, 0.2 miles away. January brings the coldest nights here and July the most rain, so the season when a stove must keep going is also the season when owners travel for the holidays.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Wood heat in about one home in eight, which stops once the last fire burns down
- Houses built before 1940, nearly a third, with plumbing along outside walls and in crawl spaces
- Vacant houses off the market, which can go the winter without anyone stepping inside
