Winter Storm Damage/Snow Removal & Water Damage

1/31/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Darien/New Canaan Offers Storm Damage Restoration/Clean Up Services.

Winter Storm Kenan brought over 2 feet of snow to some areas of New England. Even more impressive were the snow drifts created by the powerful wind gusts that pushed the powdery snow into drifts many feet deep. In the Darien/New Canaan area we did not see these types of snow totals but even with smaller totals the storm still caused damage for many in our area.

Snow removal, especially on flat roof tops, can be crucial to preventing damage to buildings. Leaving snow on vulnerable roof tops can cause water damage to the structure. This has happened more frequently this winter by nature of the temperature swings we have experienced. The rapid warm up and cool down on the snow pack allows snow melt to leak into small spaces and then when the temperatures drop again the water will freeze and expand, opening spaces up further and allowing for deeper water penetration. 

We are available to help if your property has experienced water damage. We offer complete drying and restoration services and are available 24/7. Call us today!

Checking Your Water Pipes In The Winter Could Save You Thousands

1/29/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Darien/New Canaan is Available to Clean Up Water Damage 24/7.

Winter is here and we are once again preparing for a major snow storm in the north east. In the past few weeks, temperatures have fallen below freezing. Pipes can freeze when exposed to colder temperatures, especially during power outages.

When water freezes within water supply line pipes, it can cause them to burst. The water pressure within the pipes causes water to leak or spray out, this can lead to serious, expensive damage to your commercial or residential property. This could include water damage, power loss and more.

Here are a few tried-and-true tips that we recommend to prevent this type of damage from happening to your property.

• Even if the heat is working well, make sure you check your pipes - As the temperature drops, pipes can freeze quietly. Although people may not be aware that their pipes are freezing, it can cause a cascade effect and lead to thousands of dollars worth of damage. It is important to check your pipes every winter. You can avoid costly and complicated water damage by recognizing frozen pipes early.
• Insulate and install electric pipe heating cables where needed - If you are aware of pipes that are exposed to colder temperatures and they are within reach it can be easy to insulate these pipes to reduce risk of a pipe burst.
• Make sure you close the valve on the hose bib - Your piping will have a small faucet attached to it called the hosebib. Although not all houses have one of these, hose bibs are the most vulnerable parts of your pipes to freezing. It is a good idea to turn them off before winter. They are not supposed to be turned off during winter. No worries. Installing an interior shutoff valve is easy. This will allow water to flow through the pipe without freezing or bursting. For instructions on installing these valves, speak with your local HVAC technician or public adjuster.

If you do suffer water damage, when filing a claim, make sure you have proof that you took care of your pipes. Many insurance policies cover burst pipes so you might be eligible for compensation. Make sure to have proof that you have paid your heating bill and other utility bills before you file your claim. These documents will be required by your insurance company to prove that you weren't negligent so have them ready before filing.

Fire Damage Repair Southern Connecticut

9/16/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Darien/New Canaan Is Available 24/7 When A Property Is Damaged By Fire. Call Us Now.

When you think about house fires, it’s no surprise that you likely picture a house engulfed in a tower of flame or a hallway or interior with burning walls. We regularly see fires depicted as clean-burning in movies and TV shows, because frankly we like to see the actors’ faces.

But in reality, there’s a much more likely chance that a house fire would leave you unable to see much at all, because the halls and interior in a full-fledged fire would be filled with smoke.

Smoke is the biggest threat in the 1 million+ home fires that occur in the United States each year, and smoke inhalation is the leading cause of fire deaths and injuries.

What Happens When You Inhale Smoke

You’d immediately assume that breathing in smoke might make you cough, and it’s not hard to imagine that smoke filling your lungs might be a bad thing overall. But the reason smoke is so dangerous in house fires is partially about smoke entering your lungs and partially about oxygen leaving your lungs and brain.

In order for a fire to grow, it requires oxygen. (This is why smothering a fire is such an effective suppression method.) As a fire grows inside the home, it consumes the oxygen present in the air, leaving less and less for occupants to breathe in.

When oxygen levels drop, the body is unable to function properly. Even a drop of 4% can cause impaired coordination and dizziness, making cognitive processes more difficult in an already stressful moment. Further loss of oxygen causes dizziness, unconsciousness, and respiratory or cardiac arrest.

The inhalation of smoke also means inhaling small particles, plus toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide.

How to Avoid Smoke Inhalation

The safest way to escape smoke is to stay low to the ground. Smoke rises, so the cleanest air is down low.

Cover your mouth with a wet cloth if you can grab one, and crawl to the nearest exit. Don’t linger inside, and don’t reenter once you’ve exited.

If a fire tragedy should strike your home, know that SERVPRO is here to help. Contact us anytime for 24-hour emergency assistance.

Autumn Fire Precautions | SERVPRO® of Darien/New Canaan

9/16/2021 (Permalink)

Be mindful about fall fire safety. Always remember that SERVPRO of Darien/New Canaan is the trusted leader in the restoration industry.

You feel it, don’t you? The brisk air in Darien, the lower humidity and the flirtation with your favorite light hoodie can only mean one thing: It’s fall again.

The season comes as such a relief after sweltering summers brings urges to camp and hike, run through piles of leaves and of course decorate with spooky pumpkins.

But each season requires its own look at fire safety, so before you light up those pumpkin candles and turn on the movie about the funny witch sisters, let’s remind ourselves about some fall fire safety.

Campfire Safety

Your choices about where and how to build your fire are as important as your attention to putting it out.

Start your fire at least 25 feet away from tents, structures or anything flammable. Use a regular lighter or matches to light your kindling, adding small sticks and tinder, then larger, dry wood.

[Never use kerosene or lighter fluid, which can quickly elevate a fire into something more dangerous and difficult to handle.

Don’t leave your fire unattended, and never leave your campsite until it’s been completely doused, right down to the last glowing ember.

Leaf Burning

Leaves are falling, which means you have decisions to make. You can have them hauled away, or you may choose to burn them yourself. Make sure to get a permit first.

It’s important to note that it’s both toxic and illegal to burn anything but organic yard waste such as leaves, sticks and clippings. Build your burn 50 feet from your house, and use a burn barrel if you have one. (Otherwise look for a dirt area and maintain your burn pile very carefully.)

Space Heaters

Portable space heaters may begin to come into play in cooler evenings or at the work desk, but be warned that these are one of the likeliest causes of home fires.

Only plug heaters directly into outlets, as they can overwhelm extension cords and cause short circuits. Use them only on level areas, away from anywhere kids may play. Ensure that they have a tip-over power down feature, and never leave them unattended or plugged in while you sleep.

Halloween

More on this next month, but as you decorate and prepare for fall holidays remember that any open flame is a hazard, including jack-o-lanterns, and almost all decor and costumes carry some risk of flammability.

If a fire hazard should turn from potential to reality in your home, remember the trusted leader in the recovery industry and contact SERVPRO to get your property fully restored right down to the smell of smoke.

Defend Your Home Against Wildfire | SERVPRO® of Darien/New Canaan

7/22/2021 (Permalink)

If your home is damaged by fire of any other reason, SERVPRO of Darien/New Canaan is ready and able to repair any damage.

No one wants to think about their home being caught up in the vicious swoop of wildfire, but unfortunately, it happens more often than you might think. Wildfires are swift and voracious, and considering the amount of combustible material with which we are surrounded, it’s a wonder we are able to contain these destructive blazes at all.

But we have ways of fending off wildfires before they come near our dwelling, beyond the most obvious, which would be to simply be more careful.

Let’s look at the concept of “defensible space.”

What Is Defensible Space?

It’s not about fighting off aliens—“defensible space” is a series of buffer zones you can create around your home. By planting and pruning purposefully, removing dead trees and brush, and installing areas of gravel or hardscape, you can make it difficult for fire to get from your property’s edge to your home.

Think of it as a barrier (aka defense), designed to shelter your home in the event of a wildfire by depriving the fire of fuel as it comes nearer. Defensible space also gives firefighters a better chance of stopping a wildfire before it breaches your home’s perimeter.

Defensible space isn’t required by law or local codes in Connecticut, but it’s a good fire safety practice to consider just the same.

Why Defensible Space Matters

When you think of wildfires, you may think of the West, but they can happen anywhere. There were over 59,000 wildfires across the United States in 2020.

Even removing California’s 10,000+ fires from that number, the average state encountered almost 1,000 fires.

Even Connecticut saw close to 600 wildfires last year. And the first six months of 2021 have seen a 25% increase in fires nationwide versus the previous year.

We should take advantage of anything that will prevent or deter wildfires from damaging our property and precious resources, and creating defensible space is as helpful as any.

If your home is damaged by fire of any sort, wild or not, SERVPRO is ready and able to repair the damage caused. Get in touch today to get the pros on your team.

Getting Into the Ducts for Darien Fire Damage Restoration

This "miniature" ventilation system in a Darient hobby room can lead to widespread smoke and soot damage. Call SERVPRO for a great cleanup

SERVPRO leaves no stone unturned for fire damage restoration in Darien

Your Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system may be the single most vulnerable spot in the house for fire damage. SERVPRO technicians have a wealth of experience handling fire residues in these systems.

We commonly handle HVAC damages in Darien fire damage restoration projects of all sizes. Even a small kitchen fire can produce large volumes of smoke that can spread throughout the house after being sucked into your home’s ventilation system and necessitate many more expensive deodorization efforts. One of the first things we do at your home is ensuring that the HVAC system has been completely shut off, stopping the spread of smoke and residue around the house.

We utilize multiple strategies to handle fire damages in HVAC systems. Many systems can be efficiently managed with vacuums, filter replacements, and ultra-low volume fogging deodorizers. Some ducts, however, require more technical solutions, commonly involving the sealing off of a section of the duct. We also employ odor counteracting beads that absorb residual odors before they can escape the system. We have an assortment of metal whips, brushes and scoping cameras to complete space-tight ductwork cleaning and inspecting. We assess the need for these interventions as part of our strategies for:

• House Fire Clean Up
• Smoke Remediation
• Kitchen Fire Damage

SERVPRO of Darien / New Canaan provides professional and affordable damage restoration solutions for local homeowners. Call us at (203) 966-6264.

We protect our SERVPRO technicians and your family and New Canaan property by following rigid guidelines including those found on the MSDS

Always follow our safety advice for water damage restorations in New Canaan

The steps needed to reverse the effects of water damage can sometimes involve hazardous equipment and chemicals. SERVPRO technicians understand these risks well and take many precautions against them.

If you have concerns about the cleaning products used in your home, ask us a question at any time, and we can provide answers or refer you to authorities on the subject.

In the interest of safety, we may sometimes restrict when and where you can move around in your home. This inconvenience is necessary so that we can disinfect the area with powerful sanitizing chemicals. Interacting with a room before we have determined it is safe can be dangerous. Always follow the safety advice we provide throughout the project. SERVPRO technicians wear masks, respirators, and thick gloves when near these chemicals. Powerful sanitizing agents are commonly used for:

Water damage restoration is a specialty of SERVPRO. We use the latest technology and equipment for every job.

SERVPRO Has The Means And Equipment For Any Size Water Disaster.

Many clients are concerned about the primary water damage to their Darien homes after a water leak. Items that become waterlogged tend to bleed out colors or absorb water and swell, becoming damaged. Mold growth is also possible if water removal and drying do not begin immediately.

Avoid Rain Damage at Your Darien Home | SERVPRO® of Darien/New Canaan

4/28/2021 (Permalink)

Contact us if you experience any damage caused by water. For fast response call SERVPRO of Darien/New Canaan today.

Water can damage your home in many ways, including the one you might not think about regularly because you deal with it so often.

You probably already know that flash flooding, strong thunderstorms or interior accidents (like a burst pipe or refrigerator line malfunction) can damage your home.

But have you thought about the damage heavy rains can do?

You may not know that heavy rains, a relatively common occurrence, can damage your home, too. These drenching storms are a common weather inconvenience during spring and summer. But if your home is not properly maintained, these rains can cause costly damage.

Avoiding a Common Homeowner Headache

Claims from water damage are common. Experts in the insurance industry estimate that as many as one out of every 50 homeowners will file a claim over the next year to cover water damage to their home.

Considering our community’s size, it’s likely that at least one person you know will have to make a water damage claim during 2021.

You can’t avoid all water damage hazards. Flash flooding can damage multiple homes in communities or neighborhoods. But the damage caused by heavy rains can sometimes be avoided by homeowners who take a few extra precautions.

Taking Steps to Stop Heavy Rain Damage

Our technicians are pros at repairing water damage. That means we see many of the issues that cause the damage in the first place.

We’ve put together a few ideas to help you spot ways to make your yard and home safer this spring and summer.

Take stock of your yard. Knowing how your yard drains (and how it works with your home) is vital. If you notice that your yard is draining toward your home, then you might want to get in touch with a landscaping expert to look for ways to protect your yard.

Make thoughtful landscaping decisions. Most homeowners select plants and flowers for their yard for curb appeal, meaning they like the aesthetic. But native plants can give you both visual appeal and an added layer of protection. Native plants, trees and bushes can be vital in protecting your home from water damage.

Consider sealing your roof. Here’s a surprising statistic. Insurance industry experts estimate about 95% of damage is caused by water finding its way through gaps in your shingles, which can be prevented with this step. It can save homeowners the headaches of a leaking roof.

If you need help dealing with damage caused by water, fire or any other issue, we’re here to help you restore your home. We have crews who are available ²⁴⁄₇ in the event of an emergency. Contact us at any time to learn more about us and how we can help you restore your home to its original state.

What Guarantees Faster Results during Mold Remediation in Darien Properties?

For mold damage remediation, contact SERVPRO.

SERVPRO Targets Aspects Fueling Microbial Growth for Faster Black Mold Damage Repairs

The mold you notice on surfaces or items in your house is the outcome of microbial development. Microbial growth is a natural process, especially in areas with excessive moisture. However, it takes other aspects, such as favorable temperatures between 68° to 86° and availability of organic materials for black mold to thrive.

Physical removal is a practical mold remediation process in Darien homes, but it might not give you the long-term results you desire. Combating the specific factors that accelerate mold growth is as essential as other processes like:

• Mold inspection
• Mold remediation
• Mold removal

Our SERVPRO technicians set up dehumidifiers with minimal airflow in the affected areas to help dry wet materials and keep humidity levels in the air below 60%. We also remove porous materials like drywall, paper, and insulation if we determine they are infested since they act as organic food sources. 

Cleaning the affected areas with the appropriate chemical agents helps destroy mold and other fungi. SERVPRO technicians use various cleaning agents during the mold damage remediation process. 

SERVPRO of Darien / New Canaan seeks long-term solutions when tasked to handle mold remediation in properties. Call us at (203) 966-6264 to restore your home to its preloss state.

SERVPRO Takes Safety Seriously When Delivering Water Removal Services in New Canaan

When burst pipes inundate your business premises, your primary concern may be the repair costs you are likely to incur. However, it is equally necessary to think about safety because a water damage site has several hazards, including slippery surfaces, unstable fixtures, and higher electrocution chances. 

Safety during water damage repair in your New Canaan business place should focus on other aspects apart from preventing body injuries. For instance, protecting the equipment used to extract and clean the facility from electrical damage ensures that the process does not stop midway as you seek alternatives or repair them.  

Our SERVPRO IICRC trained technicians prepare a comprehensive safety plan before starting any repairs. Typical steps include informing all occupants to vacate the areas under restoration. We also place warning signs around the property to caution those who might visit after we start water damage repairs. If the leak originates in the ceiling, we inspect it to ensure that it does not collapse. We plug our electrical equipment through GFCIs to avoid damages. With our assistance, it is easier to address:

• Burst pipes
• Ceiling leaks 
• Emergency services water damage

Choosing the right one is key to ensuring the damage is handled professionally and that your home can be restored just the way you remember it.

Millions of Homeowners Deal With Damage Every Year

The statistics don’t support the common belief that home damage is rare.

No one wants to think about it, but that’s the truth. Home damage is common. Millions of homeowners are faced with situations that damage their homes every year.

The Insurance Information Institute estimates that fire damage impacts one every 350 homes every year. If you consider every possible cause of home damage (like storms and flooding), the numbers become closer to one out of every 20 homes each year.

Instead of being frightened by these statistics, use them as a motivation to have a plan in place. Knowing how to choose your restoration partner is key.

We want to be our area’s preferred restoration partner. That is exactly why we prioritize our technicians’ training when they join our team.

Prioritizing Training and Education

Our team members pride themselves on offering an excellent level of restoration services. It matters on several levels, including response time, availability and training. We take special pride in the level of training our technicians to receive.

What Is The Best Way To Eliminate Smells After Flood Damage Affects My Darien Home?

From storm damage to odors, SERVPRO is the team to call for restoration.

SERVPRO Seeks Ways to Prevent and Remove Odors When Delivering Water Removal Services in Darien

Although it is among the smallest towns on Connecticut's coast, Darien has a lot to offer. That it was nicknamed the "centerpiece of Connecticut's Gold Coast" indicates the level of interest people have in its amenities. Many also know it as the waterfront town to enjoy some of the best public beaches within the New York metropolitan area. 

Pear Tree Point is the small and arguably the more beautiful of the two beaches in town. It is approximately 8 acres and has several amenities for visitors, including a handicap-accessible picnic section with grills and tables, a bathing area, and a beautiful gazebo. There is a concession stand serving those who need snacks and a boat launch ramp. Weed beach is almost thrice the size of Pear Tree Point, covering 22 acres. However, it is mostly rocky.

Horse Rides and Shows

Darien has a long history as an equestrian community. The Ox Ridge Riding & Racquet Club anchors this aspect of life in the area. The club established in 1914 stands between Middlesex and Mansfield roads and covers a total of 22 acres. Initially, it was known as the Ox Ridge Hunt Club and hosted a popular horse show in the town for over nine decades. The club served as an important training spot for many equestrian champions. In 2018, the club was remodeled to serve active families.

Away from horse riding, golfing can be another interesting way to spend time in Darien. The Wee Burn Country club, established back in 1896, is a convenient place to tee off. The club was started by George Strath, who hailed from St. Andrews. He leased 48 acres of farmland and set out the initial 6-hole course. Later a further three holes were added. As the membership grew, expansion to an entire 18-hole course was necessary. However, since there was no sufficient room, a neighboring property measuring 230 acres was acquired. 

Other interesting areas where you can spend time while in Darien include:

• Cove Island offers an 83-acre park perfect for walking, biking, and rollerblading
• Rowayton Arts Center, which exhibits works from local artists. It features artworks and flowers in a superb setting close to the five-mile river
• Cherry Lawn Park, a community garden and nature center

How Does SERVPRO Manage Odors Caused by Flood Damage in Darien Properties?

Properties can flood for several reasons, including the overflowing of nearby rivers. After extracting the water and cleaning soiled areas, you might notice that unpleasant smells linger within your property after completing flood restoration processes making it uncomfortable for occupants.  

The odors that develop after flood damage in Darien homes can be caused by wide-ranging factors, including chemical or biohazard residues in the intruding water, extended moisture exposure, which leads to microbial growth in various materials, or even the chemicals used to clean the property. SERVPRO has developed multiple strategies to deal with odor since we handle multiple tasks regularly, including:

• Water damage remediation 
• Basement flooding 
• Flood restoration

Our SERVPRO technicians capitalize on preventive approaches such as using odorless cleaning compounds. We also expedite processes like water extraction since we have various equipment, including truck-mounted extractors and self-priming trash pumps. Removing the water faster limits the chances of mold development. In case an unpleasant odor develops, we can deodorize the property through methods such as ULV fogging. ULV fogging atomizes odor counteractants, spreading them to all target areas.

SERVPRO of Darien / New Canaan is a seasoned flood damage restorer. Call us at (203) 966-6264 when you need assistance.

SERVPRO of Darien/New Canaan knows the commercial restoration process inside and out. Here are some of our best tips in choosing the right restoration

What was the biggest lesson you learned in 2020? If you’re like most of us, it was that unpredictable and unprecedented things can happen. And if you own a business, that lesson probably hit home even more clearly.

While it’s safe to say that none of us were prepared for a global pandemic, it’s a good idea for business owners to think ahead and prepare for the more routine problems that can happen during the course of a year—things like flooding or fire.

Conscientious business owners likely already have a solid disaster plan in place and work with their employees to ensure they understand all the moving parts. It’s one thing to have a disaster plan ready and another to live through a disaster.

Because we work with business owners dealing with disaster cleanup regularly, we know what it takes to ensure your business is ready for reopening. Here’s our best advice to help you prepare for a brighter future.

It’s a Step-by-Step Process

Keep these steps in mind if your business is damaged:

Follow your disaster plan. The first thing you need to do is implement your disaster plan and follow the steps you laid out. That may include moving to a backup location and checking in on your employees.

Document your losses and damage. Your insurance company will want photographs and documentation. Be sure you take your photographs before you start cleaning up.

Stay in touch with your valued customers and other stakeholders. You’ll want to be in touch with your suppliers, your employees, your customers and your community. Social media can be a great tool for the wider community, but consider reaching out to personally to your employees and your customers.

Take care of yourself. Going through disaster recovery is stressful. Choose the best partners to guide you through it, and be sure you’re taking steps to manage your stress and care for yourself and your family.

If your business is damaged due to fire, water or any other cause, you can always count on us for restoration assistance. We have crews who are available ²⁴⁄₇ in the event of an emergency. Contact us at any time to learn more about our restoration services and how we can help you.

SERVPRO knows how to contain mold spores in Darien

Darien is an idyllic coastal town in Connecticut. The town’s population is 21,000, and it is an exclusive, high-class community that offers all the charm of New England life. There are several exclusive private country clubs and beaches, but many beautiful areas are open to the public.

Settlers first came to Darien in the late seventeenth century. They built a sawmill dam and a shipyard, and for a long time, Darien remained a small rural community built around those industries. The arrival of the railroad in the mid-eighteenth century helped the town to expand. After the Civil War, it became popular with wealthy New Yorkers, who built vacation homes along the waterside, especially in the Tokeneke area.

Darien is situated on the Gold Coast, an affluent area of Connecticut known for its stunning waterfront homes, well-to-do residents, and sophisticated lifestyle. Darien is a familiar sight, featuring in many movies, including Hope Springs, Cannonball Run II, The Stepford Wives, and Gentleman’s Agreement.

Enjoy historic buildings and beautiful parks in Darien

Darien has several historic buildings and plenty of outdoor spaces. While you are here, be sure to see:

• The Frederick J Smith House is a unique modern home with an open facade and lots of glass to let in light and give residents uninterrupted water views. Renowned avant-garde architect Richard Meier designed and built the house in the mid-sixties.
• The delightfully named Pond-Weed House dates from 1696. It is a two-and-a-half-story home in the traditional New England Saltbox style and the oldest building in Darien.
• The Mather Homestead dates from 1778 and is a beautifully preserved example of eighteenth-century architecture. Visitors can walk through rooms that look just as they would have back then, and the Homestead hosts frequent family events.

Darien also has some lovely parks and beaches to explore. Some of the most popular include:

• Cherry Lawn Park offers miles of pretty walking trails through fields and beside ponds. You can even ice skate here in the winter.
• Pear Tree Point Beach is fully equipped with concession stands, bathhouses, picnic areas, and a gazebo. The beach has an accessible picnic area. In summer, the beach is for residents only, but you can purchase a visitor’s pass.
• Selleck’s Woods Nature Preserve is convenient for downtown Darien, but you will feel like you are far from the beaten track as you explore 28.093 acres of marshes, ponds, swamps, and prairie.
• Weed Beach is well-appointed with tennis courts, a children’s play area, a bathing area, and a fitness trail. 

Are you looking for mold removal companies?

If you need mold removal in Darien, it is vital to choose a company that helps contain mold spores. Spores are microscopic and can quickly travel throughout your home to set up new colonies. SERVPRO helps prevent the spread of spores by:

• Setting up containment using industry-grade plastic sheeting and duct tape.
• Sealing off vents, doors, and windows to prevent spores from escaping.
• Using air scrubbers and negative air machines to pull fungal spores from the air.
• Drying the area, so it is not such a desirable breeding ground.

Darien’s History in Conjunction with the Civil War and Beyond

During the Civil War, there was a home for disabled veterans and orphans of soldiers built within Noroton Heights in 1864. This building got named after the founder, who happened to be Benjamin Fitch from Darien. After the Civil War ended, it made way for economic prosperity and security throughout the north, which brought on the building boom. Because of this, many New Yorkers discovered Darien's beautiful shoreline and began to build summer homes. In 1897, trolley service by the Stamford Street Railway came through Darien.

SERVPRO Assists Local Darien Property Owners With Storm, Ice Dam Damage Restoration Services

Storm damage can cause excess water to gain entry into your home. Contact our technicians for water removal and to remediate.

The Techs Bring Advanced Equipment and Methods To Handle Darien Storm, Ice Dam Damage With Rapid Response

The city of Darien was initially part of Stamford and in 1737 went by the name Middlesex Parish. Later, in 1820 the townspeople bestowed the name Town of Darien and incorporated the township. The original land deal came between the early planters from Europe and the local tribe in the area, the Siwanoys also known as "the south people." The tribe lived in small settlements of wigwam houses covered in bark and lived peacefully hunting, fishing, and tending their corn crops. Unlike many areas where people set up homesteads in regions known as Indian Territories, there was little animosity between the groups. The original township was much smaller until the purchase of additional land around the area known as Pine Brook in the Goodwives River's vicinity. The original settlement of people consisted of 49 people, some of whom were family groups. All tried their hand to create self-sustaining farms and trade with the local tribes for some of the things they needed to get through the harsh winters in the area. This area of the state averages 30-inches of snow yearly, and while the rest of the United States receives about 38-inches of rain, Darien sees over 50-inches on average, making it an excellent place to grow crops. The top crops still produced in the area are:

• Corn
• Onions
• Beans
• Greens

The 1700s saw the township of Darien develop roads by cutting down the heavily forested areas. Soon afterward, the settlement grew, and the need for basics such as school, mill, dam, and general store was established. The roads originally were only wide enough for a footpath. The County Road got widened to accommodate carts and travelers on horseback and became the main highway connecting New York and Boston. Many well-known people traveled the road, including George Washington.  In the late 1700s, the trail underwent improvements that resulted in a regular stagecoach schedule that made a roundtrip from Darien to New York every two weeks, which further helped the area thrive.

Darien's town was the target of raids during the American Revolution by local Tories who fled to nearby areas and frequently disrupted local meetings. During church services, the Tories captured a minister and forty-seven men in attendance and transported them across the Sound. The men were kept as prisons of the British for five months before getting exchanged and freed by the Tories.

In the early 1800s, the stagecoach discontinued the route, but years of work brought improvements to the Turnpike Road (now known as Post Road), and a daily mail service got established. The small community continued to grow, and shops providing items such as:

• Hats
• Shoes
• Clothing
• Furniture

More expansion happened in Darien as the railroad line from New Haven arrived in the mid-1800s. Until this occurred, the town relied on Gorham's Mill's harbor to import and export goods produced in the township. Up until the railroad arrived, the city was inhabited by roughly one thousand farmers, cobblers, fishers, and merchants that made a living through coastal trading. The railroad changed that demographic and caused an uptick in the population numbers as more immigrants from Ireland and Italy moved to the town after working on building the railroad.

Benjamen Fitch, a local philanthropist in Darien, built the first home for veterans of the Civil War in 1864. He purchased land to build the Spring Grove Veterans Cemetery. When soldiers residing in the house passed away and needed a fitting burial place to honor their contribution and service. Later the home got expanded to include children orphaned by the war. The VFW Post 6933 building is the only standing structure left from the original Fitch veterans home, and it was constructed from the chapel.

Post-Civil War saw a boom in Darien that resulted in former farmland getting developed into residential areas, and this upgrade attracted the attention of affluent citizens of other regions including New York and built vacation homes along the shoreline as the land could still get purchased at a low price making it an ideal investment. From the late 1800s until 1933, the Stamford Street Railway, a trolley service, ran in the area and served the Darien area for local transportation. However, the real growth in the township happened in the 1950s when the Connecticut Turnpike came through. This took the general population from a few thousand residents to more than 20,000.

What Is The Best Way To Handle Storm, Ice Dam Damage To A Darien Roof?

With even a small scale winter storm, ice dam damage to Darien homes can be an issue. There are a few ways to prevent ice dams, but professional assistance should get brought in to remediate this problem. The longer this problem waits for cleanup to begin, the more damage it can do to the roof, interior, and gutters on the home.

People in other areas of the country may not have ever heard of an ice dam, but they are common in Northern New England. There are actions homeowners can take to reduce the risk of this issue becoming a problem; however, the only way to prevent this from happening is to ensure your property has: 

• Better sealing 
• Thorough insulation 
• Venting in the eaves and attic

SERVPRO technicians have experience handling the remediation of ice dams. They know the secondary damages it can bring to a house beside the water's apparent damage; if the sheathing remains wet, mildew and rot have the potential to form. The techs inspect around the dam to see if the roof or gutters have allowed water into the home when the melted water backs up behind the ice and drips into the insulation, ceilings, and walls. The techs can locate areas of water within the building materials by using their moisture detection equipment and probes.

SERVPRO technicians have various methods for dealing with an ice dam, depending on how large it is. DIY removal methods can be hazardous without the proper tools and training in safe removal procedures and should not get attempted. 

SERVPRO of Darien / New Canaan at (203) 966-6264 comes when local residents need assistance with storm, ice dam damage to their Darien properties.

SERVPRO of Darien / New Canaan Provides Licensed Restoration Technicians to Darien Residents

Darien is a waterfront town along the prestigious Gold Coast of Fairfield County, Connecticut. The Gold Coast is so-named due to the high number of affluent families and individuals that take up residence in this short stretch of coastline just North-East of New York City. The region has been the subject of many movies and books that depict the lives of wealthy or high-powered individuals in the roles of finance, hedge fund management, and technology. Notable films include The Stepford Wives and The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit. Darien has been the wealthiest town in the United States for the past two years. Proximity to the New Haven railroad commuter line allows quick access into Manhattan and connections to international airports. The town is home to two public beaches, eleven parks, numerous exclusive country clubs, golf courses, boat and yacht clubs. The weather is very similar to neighboring New York, with freezing conditions during the winter but mild, amiable springs and summers.

The earliest records of Darien's settlement date back to the seventeenth century, although the modern incarnation and its official name were established later, in 1820. The name was allegedly settled on by a traveling sailor and referenced the Isthmus of Darien, which covers a small coastal area between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Darien was a rural farming community with a relatively small population-focused around Rings End Landing- a shipping port and hub for much of its life. It was not until after the Civil War that Fairfield County became a coveted destination for New York City's wealthy elite. The consistent investment and building of holiday homes in Darien saw it grow into the heart of the Gold Coast it is today. The town is broken into several neighborhoods with areas of Noroton, and its views over Manhattan are generally considered the most desirable.

• Its stunning period architectures very much characterize the distinguished area. The Frederick J. Smith House was created in the mid-twentieth century by avant-garde architect Richard Meier.

The property has won several awards for architecture and sits on Shennamer Road overlooking Long Island Sound.
• The Mather Homestead is a public museum, exhibition, and historical site for visitors to Darien County. The house was built in 1778 and is considered a fantastic example of period architecture.
