What causes water damage around Smithton
Water damage around Smithton usually starts with ice dams that push meltwater under roofing and into ceilings, basement flooding from heavy rain, nor'easters and spring snowmelt or aging supply lines and drain stacks in older homes. The riskiest stretch runs from December through March for frozen pipes and ice dams, with a second peak during spring thaw and summer thunderstorms.
