Call Now (833) 502-4258Freezing weather and burst pipes
Hard freezes are one of the most common causes of storm water damage in Connecticut. 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 Connecticut, storm 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 Connecticut, 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.
Basements and below-grade water
Many homes in Connecticut have basements, often finished with drywall and carpet. Sump pump failures, sewer backups, and seepage after heavy rain are frequent sources of storm water damage, and finished basements usually need drywall cut above the water line to dry the wall cavity.
- Wind-damaged roofs
- Broken windows and doors
- Runoff into basements
- Clogged gutters
