Lowell homes and water damage
Much of Lowell has older triple-deckers and multi-family homes. Much of Lowell has 19th- and early-1900s triple-deckers and multi-family homes built for mill 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. Belvidere has larger Victorian homes.
River flooding
The Merrimack floods low areas.
Ice dams
Snow causes ice dams.
Frozen pipes
Cold snaps freeze pipes.
Multi-family leaks
Leaks spread to units below.
Older plumbing

Sewer backups

Basement flooding
Heavy rain and snowmelt flood older stone basements.
Nor'easters
Winter storms bring heavy snow, wind and rain.
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.
