Water Damage in Cicero, NY: Newer Homes, Shorter Drying Window

Cicero's newer homes are mostly drywall, carpet and finished basements, which soak up water faster than old plaster, and the town has more repeat flood properties than most of the county. Tell us what got wet and we connect you with a licensed, insured water damage contractor.

Five quick questions about where the water came from and what it reached, then your details. It takes about a minute, and a person reads the answers.

Question 1Where did the water come from?

Where the water came from decides both how it has to be cleaned up and how a homeowners policy reads it, so it is the first thing a contractor will ask.

Question 2Has the water stopped coming in?

If a pipe is still running, closing the main shutoff inside the house, where the supply pipe comes through the wall, stops it. Drying cannot start until the source has stopped.

Question 3What got wet?
Question 4When did it happen?

The EPA advises drying water-damaged materials within 24 to 48 hours. Past that point, what can be dried in place and what has to come out starts to change.

Question 5Whose home is it, and are you thinking of a claim?

New York's insurance regulator advises protecting the property from further damage and keeping the receipts, and holding off permanent repairs until the insurer has had the chance to inspect.

Planning

Why Cicero's newer houses need drying started early

Cicero has the newest housing in this metro, a median year built of 1980, with only 6.9 percent built before 1940 and four in five homes single family detached. That is a house full of drywall, engineered flooring and, often, a finished basement, and those materials hold water and break down faster than plaster and solid wood. The salvage window is shorter, so extraction on the first day matters more here than in the city. The town also borders Oneida Lake and contains the low, wet ground of the Cicero Swamp, and the county plan records 23 repetitive loss properties, 19 of them single family homes. A house that has taken water before should be dried and documented as if the insurer will ask about it again: daily readings written down, and photographs of what was removed.
