Local risks
What causes water damage in Trenton
Older foundations and pipes
In a city where 65% 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 64% of Trenton'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.
Inland flash flooding
Heavy tropical rain has flooded basements and ground floors far from the coast, especially near rivers and streams.
