Winter weather in the Capital Region and surrounding areas poses significant risks of water damage to homes. Frozen pipes can burst, leading to flooding, while ice dams may cause water to seep into roofs and walls. Basements are particularly vulnerable to flooding during winter thaws and spring snowmelt. Hidden moisture can result in mold growth, which may cause health issues and further property damage. Homeowners are encouraged to act promptly to prevent these risks, as delays in addressing water damage can lead to more extensive and costly repairs.
