New Haven homes and water damage
East Rock and Wooster Square have 19th-century homes and multi-families with plaster walls, aging plumbing and basements. Many have been divided into apartments. Many multi-families near Yale are rented to students, and leaks can go unreported between tenants. Older basements often have stone or brick foundations that seep during heavy rain.
