What causes water damage around Gorham

The riskiest stretch runs from December through March for frozen pipes and ice dams, with a second peak during spring thaw and summer thunderstorms. Typical triggers in Maine include 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. Conditions here include four distinct seasons, cold winters and a lot of older housing stock.

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.
