What causes water damage in Norwood
Original plumbing in older homes
48% of Norwood'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.
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.
