What causes water damage around South Portland
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 basement flooding from heavy rain, nor'easters and spring snowmelt, aging supply lines and drain stacks in older homes and frozen and split pipes during hard winter freezes. 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.
