What causes water damage in Beverly
Aging pipes and drains
With 55% of homes built before 1960, many Beverly houses still have galvanized supply lines that corrode from the inside and cast-iron or clay drains that crack. Leaks often start slowly inside walls or under floors.
Multi-unit leaks
In triple-deckers and condos, one unit's leak often reaches the units below. Owners, associations and insurers each have a piece of the claim.
Plaster and lath
Plaster holds water differently from drywall and needs careful drying and, sometimes, specialized repair to match.
