What causes water damage around East Boston

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 Massachusetts 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.
