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 Maryland include ice dams that push meltwater under roofing and into ceilings, basement flooding from heavy rain, nor'easters and spring snowmelt and aging supply lines and drain stacks in older homes. Conditions here include four distinct seasons, cold winters and a lot of older housing stock.
