Call Now (833) 502-4258Freezing weather and burst pipes
Hard freezes are one of the most common causes of storm water damage in Pennsylvania. 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.
River and flash flooding
River and flash flooding affect many communities in Pennsylvania. Floodwater carries sewage, chemicals, and silt, so cleanup involves removing porous materials and disinfecting, not only drying. If you are considering flood insurance, NFIP policies typically have a 30-day waiting period before coverage starts.
Basements and below-grade water
Many homes in Pennsylvania 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.
Recent history in Pennsylvania
The remnants of Hurricane Ida in 2021 caused major flooding in the Philadelphia region. Events like these are why storm water damage needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.
- Wind-damaged roofs
- Broken windows and doors
- Runoff into basements
- Clogged gutters
