Water damage & mold help in Burlington, VT
Burlington sits on Lake Champlain, with Victorian homes in the Hill Section, early-1900s multi-families in the Old North End, and post-war homes in the New North End.

Burlington homes and water damage
Student rentals near the University of Vermont mean frequent turnover, and leaks can go unreported. Older homes often have limited insulation and older heating systems. Homes near the lake and in low areas of the South End sit closer to groundwater, which shows up as basement seepage in spring.
Frozen pipes
Sub-zero cold freezes pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces.
Ice dams
Heavy snow and heat loss create ice dams on older roofs.
Spring basement water
Snowmelt and heavy rain saturate soil around older foundations.
Lake Champlain flooding
Lake Champlain reached record levels in spring 2011, flooding lakefront property. High water years still threaten low-lying areas along the shore.
Old housing stock
Many Old North End homes date to the late 1800s, with limited insulation, older wiring and aging plumbing that are prone to freeze damage.
Student rentals
Frequent turnover in rental housing near UVM means leaks and frozen pipes can go unnoticed over winter breaks.
