Call Now (833) 502-4258Freezing weather and burst pipes
Hard freezes are one of the most common causes of commercial water damage restoration in Massachusetts. 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.
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 Massachusetts, commercial water damage restoration often starts with tarping openings and removing wet insulation and drywall before mold can develop.
Recent history in Massachusetts
Record snowfall in the winter of 2015 caused widespread ice dam leaks in the Boston area. Events like these are why commercial water damage restoration needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.
Ice dams and ceiling leaks
Heavy snow in Massachusetts leads to ice dams, where meltwater backs up under shingles and runs into attics, insulation, and ceilings. The damage often appears as stains or bulging drywall days after a thaw, so commercial water damage restoration usually includes checking the attic and wall cavities, not just the visible spot.
