Maine water damage
What causes water damage in Maine
Maine's water damage calls follow the seasons. Long, hard winters freeze supply lines in exterior walls and unheated seasonal camps, heavy snow loads build ice dams along eaves, and spring snowmelt pushes groundwater into fieldstone and poured basements. Much of the housing stock is old, and many rural homes rely on private wells and septic systems.
Frozen pipes in seasonal homes
Camps and second homes left with the heat low or off are a classic source of burst pipes found days later. Drain-down or a low-temperature alarm prevents most of them.
Ice dams
Heat escaping into the attic melts roof snow that refreezes at the eaves, backing water under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls.
Spring groundwater
Snowmelt and spring rain raise the water table, and older stone foundations let water in at the wall-floor joint.
Licensing, permits and insurance in Maine
Towns handle building permits locally, and many small towns rely on a code enforcement officer rather than a large building department. Ask whether your repair needs a permit before walls are closed. If a septic system backed up, have it pumped and inspected before normal water use resumes.

FAQ
Maine water damage questions
What should I do if pipes froze in my Maine camp?
Shut off the water at the main or the well pump, keep the power on to any heat source, and don't use an open flame to thaw pipes. Expect leaks as they thaw, and have drying ready.
Are ice dam leaks covered by insurance?
Water damage from ice dams is often covered under homeowners policies, but the roof repair and prevention may not be. Check your policy wording.
