What causes water damage around Lanham
Water damage around Lanham usually starts with ice dams that push meltwater under roofing and into ceilings, basement flooding from heavy rain, nor'easters and spring snowmelt or aging supply lines and drain stacks in older homes. The riskiest stretch runs from December through March for frozen pipes and ice dams, with a second peak during spring thaw and summer thunderstorms.
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.
