Local risks
What causes water damage in Peabody
Aging pipes and drains
With 39% of homes built before 1960, many Peabody 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.
Seasonal risks, licensing and FEMA history across the state are on the Massachusetts page.
