Local risks
What causes water damage in Haverhill
Older foundations and pipes
In a city where 47% 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.
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
