What causes water damage in Connecticut
Frozen pipes and ice dams
Cold snaps burst pipes in older homes, and snowy winters build ice dams on poorly insulated roofs.
Coastal storms
Long Island Sound towns flood in hurricanes and nor'easters; Sandy in 2012 and Irene in 2011 are the recent markers.
Basement seepage
Stone and block foundations and a high spring water table keep sump pumps busy.
Homes and how they are built
Colonials, capes and ranches with full basements make up most of the housing, and many homes predate 1960. Shoreline homes sit close to the water at low elevation.
When it happens
Freezes run December through March. Coastal storms peak in fall and winter, with tropical systems possible August through October.
Rules and insurance in Connecticut
Home improvement contractors must register with the Department of Consumer Protection. Coastal policies may carry a hurricane deductible.
In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Connecticut homeowners
Why does my basement get wet every spring?
Snowmelt and spring rain raise the water table. Water enters at the wall-floor joint and through cracks in older foundations.
Are oil tank or boiler leaks water damage?
A leaking boiler or its piping causes water damage like any other pipe. Fuel oil leaks are an environmental cleanup and need a specialist.
How do I check a contractor in Connecticut?
