What causes water damage around Framingham

Water damage around Framingham usually starts with aging supply lines and drain stacks in older homes, frozen and split pipes during hard winter freezes or ice dams that push meltwater under roofing and into ceilings. The riskiest stretch runs from December through March for frozen pipes and ice dams, with a second peak during spring thaw and summer thunderstorms.

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.
