What causes water damage around Passaic
In New Jersey, property owners deal with four distinct seasons, cold winters and a lot of older housing stock. The causes we hear about most are aging supply lines and drain stacks in older homes, frozen and split pipes during hard winter freezes and 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.
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.
