What causes water damage around Lee
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 aging supply lines and drain stacks in older homes, frozen and split pipes during hard winter freezes and ice dams that push meltwater under roofing and into ceilings. Conditions here include four distinct seasons, cold winters and a lot of older housing stock.
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.
