How Rhode Island's climate, building types, and history shape this service locally.
Call Now (833) 502-4258Freezing weather and burst pipes
Hard freezes are one of the most common causes of burst pipe water damage in Rhode Island. Pipes in exterior walls, attics, crawl spaces, and unheated garages can split, and the leak often starts only when the pipe thaws. The American Red Cross advises keeping the heat at 55°F or higher when you are away and letting faucets on exterior walls drip during extreme cold.
Recent history in Rhode Island
Record rainfall in March 2010 caused the worst flooding in Rhode Island in more than a century. Events like these are why burst pipe water damage needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.
Hurricanes and wind-driven rain
Tropical storms and hurricanes bring wind-driven rain through damaged roofs, windows, and siding, as well as flooding. After a storm in Rhode Island, burst pipe water damage often starts with tarping openings and removing wet insulation and drywall before mold can develop.
Storm surge and coastal flooding
Storm surge and tidal flooding are treated as contaminated (Category 3) water. In coastal parts of Rhode Island, materials soaked by surge water are usually removed rather than dried in place. Standard homeowners policies generally exclude this kind of flooding, which is covered by separate flood insurance such as the National Flood Insurance Program.
- Pipes freezing and splitting in cold weather
- Corroded or aging pipes
- Failed fittings and connections
- High water pressure
