Water damage these days can be rough in a Hamptons homes. The picture here came to us from Tim over at Telemark Inc. in Bridgehampton. After a spec house was built two years ago without pipe insulation in an exterior wall, the cold temperatures caused a stop valve to burst sending water flying through the home causing $200,000 worth of damage. Art, furniture and personal items were also destroyed. With the cold weather, it’s a good idea to keep your home watched by an estate manager so that things like this can be avoided. For buyers of new homes, be sure to be extra careful with spec houses where you can’t see behind the walls, otherwise you might be calling Tim.
