What causes water damage around South Lyme

In Connecticut, property owners deal with four distinct seasons, cold winters and a lot of older housing stock. The causes we hear about most are frozen and split pipes during hard winter freezes, ice dams that push meltwater under roofing and into ceilings and basement flooding from heavy rain, nor'easters and spring snowmelt. The riskiest stretch runs from December through March for frozen pipes and ice dams, with a second peak during spring thaw and summer thunderstorms.

Many homes here have basements or crawlspaces that take on water, so see how basement flooding cleanup works. Wind, hail, heavy rain and ice can open a roof, and ceiling and roof leak water damage explains what comes next.
