What causes water damage in Middletown
Original plumbing in older homes
35% of Middletown's housing predates 1960. Pipes that old narrow with rust, joints weaken and drain lines crack, so a small drip behind plaster or under a floor can go unnoticed until stains or soft spots appear.
Sump pump failures
Power outages during storms stop sump pumps exactly when they're needed. Battery backups prevent many basement floods.
Frozen pipes
Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and over garages freeze in January and February cold snaps.
