What we see around State College
Frozen pipes over winter break
Thousands of rental units around Penn State sit empty over the holidays. When the heat gets turned down too far during a cold snap, pipes freeze and burst, and the leak may not be found until tenants return. Units above and below get wet too. Landlords: keep the heat at a safe setting and have someone check empty units.
Apartments and townhomes
In shared buildings, one overflowing tub or failed washer hose can damage several units. Quick extraction and drying, plus clear documentation of where the water came from, makes the insurance side much simpler for owners, tenants and associations.
Basements in the townships
Homes in College, Ferguson, Patton and Harris townships deal with the same spring snowmelt and heavy rain as the rest of central PA. Sump pumps get a workout, and when they fail the basement takes the hit. See flooded basements.
Kitchen fires
Cooking fires are the most common kind of home fire, and they spread grease-heavy smoke residue through the whole home. See fire damage and smoke and soot cleanup.

State College questions
Local FAQ
Water came through my ceiling from the unit above. Who pays?
It depends on what caused it and on the leases and policies involved. Usually the building owner's or association's policy covers the structure, and a renter's policy covers the tenant's belongings. Take photos, tell your landlord right away, and get the water out quickly no matter who ends up paying.
I'm a student renter. What should I do first?
Shut off the water if you can find the valve, move your electronics and belongings off the floor, take photos, and call your landlord or property manager. If you have renter's insurance, call them too.
Do you handle commercial properties?
Yes. Offices, shops and restaurants get water and fire damage too. Call and tell us about the space.
