What causes water damage around New Salem
In Massachusetts, property owners deal with four distinct seasons, cold winters and a lot of older housing stock. The causes we hear about most are 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. The riskiest stretch runs from December through March for frozen pipes and ice dams, with a second peak during spring thaw and summer thunderstorms.
Wind, hail, heavy rain and ice can open a roof, and ceiling and roof leak water damage explains what comes next. Split and frozen lines are a leading source of indoor flooding, which is covered in our burst pipe water damage repair page.
