Local risks
What causes water damage in New Britain
Older foundations and pipes
In a city where 57% of homes were built before 1960, the usual suspects are corroded supply lines, cracked cast-iron drains and foundations that let water in after heavy rain.
Apartments and shared walls
Renters occupy about 56% of New Britain's homes. In multi-unit buildings, water from one unit travels through floors and shared walls, so report leaks to the landlord or association in writing right away.
Sump pump failures
Power outages during storms stop sump pumps exactly when they're needed. Battery backups prevent many basement floods.
