What causes water damage around Markham
Water damage around Markham usually starts with sump pump failure and basement flooding, severe storms, hail and wind that open up roofs or spring snowmelt and river flooding. Basement flooding peaks in spring and early summer, and freezing pipes become the bigger worry from late November through February.
Split and frozen lines are a leading source of indoor flooding, which is covered in our burst pipe water damage repair page. Many homes here have basements or crawlspaces that take on water, so see how basement flooding cleanup works.
