Peniel Is Your Best Choice For Water Damage Mitigation at Your Vermont Residence or Commercial Property

Living in New England, you might not initially think of water damage as a common issue. But the fact remains that many families are affected by it each year. This is partially due to our beautiful four-season Vermont climate. During the spring season, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and other inclement weather can cause storm flooding, especially to houses on lower ground. Along with harsh winter weather comes the possibility of frozen and burst pipes when the temperature drops low enough (usually below 20 degrees Fahrenheit) for a prolonged period of time. Heavy snowfall can also cause ice damming, where a cliff of ice on the edge of your roof prevents water from running off, and instead seeping into your house. Other causes of water damage include sewage backups, plumbing and structural issues, and leaky roofs. Peniel staff are passionate about serving you, and are extremely knowledgeable about the particular challenges that come with mitigation of water damage in the New England area.

Water Damage Can Cause More Troubles Than Expected, With the Mitigation Requiring Experience You May Not Have Thought About

Aside from the obvious inconveniences of water damage to your home or business, there are many other issues that can arise, including:

  • Displacement from the home: Unfortunately, most instances of water damage require vacating the property while it is being mitigated. Our aim is to get you back in your home or business as quickly as possible.
  • Property Damage: With any water damage mitigation process, there is bound to be some damage to your personal affects, possessions, and in the case of commercial damage, business assets. While we will do our best to salvage everything possible, it is likely that some items will need to be disposed of and replaced. Additionally, some items should never be salvaged, and having an experienced mitigation team on your side helps ensure that you don’t get taken advantage of by your insurance company in the event a dispute arises over the viability of cleaning and salvaging something that should not be.
  • Sanitary and health risks: Any type of water damage, whether from a sewage backup, a burst pipe or storm flooding can cause a health risk of varying severity to you, your family and employees. During this stressful and trying time, we know that the safety of all concerned is the most important factor, and we are committed to that tenant.
  • Structural damage: It is possible your home will suffer some form of structural damage, depending on the scope of the water damage. Our goal is to reduce this as much as possible during the mitigation process, and to do so we need to act quickly.

Water Damage Mitigation and Working With Your VT Insurance Provider and Policy

We will be happy to assist you in navigating the complex world of insurance. We work with insurance on a regular basis and can act as a liaison between you and your insurance company. It is important for you to act quick when it comes to water damage to your commercial or residential property as most insurance policies require you to report and choose a water damage repair company within a certain time frame.

Water Damage Mitigation Often Requires VT State or Local Town Level Notifications under Certain Scenarios and Not All Mitigation Companies Remediating Your Water Damage Follow These Regulations, be Safe Choose Peniel

In most cases your mitigation program will go without a hitch, but under certain circumstances such as those involving Asbestos, toxic waste, or other hazardous materials, the state, local, or perhaps even both authorities will need to be notified or you will risk potential penalties and legal intervention. This typically only applies to Asbestos, and hazardous class materials typically found in older commercial buildings but older houses also pose a risk. Peniel as part of their program will handle any necessary notifications and paperwork filing for the state of VT as well as any local authorities. The state of VT health department contact information is listed below if you have any questions, or feel free to call us directly and we can answer them for you.

  • IICRC S500 Certified Contractors
    Contractors in our network hold IICRC Water Restoration Technician credentials and follow S500 protocol — the industry standard that insurers recognize.
  • Insurance Documentation From Day One
    Drying logs, moisture readings, and scope documentation are produced from the first visit — in the format your adjuster needs.

IICRC S500 Protocol Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration — the framework contractors in our network follow on every job
IICRC WRT Credential Water Restoration Technician — the core water damage credential held by contractors in our network
Thermal Imaging and Moisture Mapping Contractors use moisture meters and thermal cameras to map water migration beyond the visible wet area

Mold Prevention Protocol Antifungal treatments applied to at-risk materials during drying — preventing the secondary mold problem that follows water damage if drying is delayed

Common questions

Before You Call, the Honest Answers.

How fast can a contractor get to a Vermont property?

2–4 hours target for most Vermont locations. Vermont is Vermont's largest city with the strongest contractor coverage in the state.

Is ice dam damage common in Vermont?

Very. Vermont's 87.5-inch average snowfall makes it one of the most ice-dam-affected cities in New England. If your property has older attic insulation and you've had a cold winter, ice dam assessment after a thaw event is strongly recommended even without visible water stains.
