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.
