Brockton homes and water damage
Much of Brockton has older triple-deckers and multi-family homes. Much of Brockton has early-1900s triple-deckers and multi-family homes built for shoe factory workers, with shared basements, water heaters and boilers. A leak in an upper unit can spread to every unit below, and flat or low-slope roofs hold snow and ice that leak into top floors. Many are owner-occupied, so the owner is often both landlord and neighbor when a leak crosses floors.
Ice dams
Snow causes ice dams.
Frozen pipes
Cold snaps freeze pipes.
Multi-family leaks
Leaks spread to units below.
Basement flooding
Heavy rain floods basements.
Older plumbing
Older homes have galvanized lines.
Sewer backups
Heavy storms overload older sewers and back water into basements.
Nor'easters
Winter storms bring heavy snow, wind and rain.
Sump pump failures
Power outages during storms stop sump pumps when they're needed most.
Shared-building claims
In triple-deckers and multi-family homes, water often crosses unit lines, so owners, tenants and insurers each need photos and a clear record of where the leak started.
Older plumbing
Older multi-family homes have galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that leak and clog with age.
