What causes water damage in Maine
Frozen pipes
Long cold spells, power outages and seasonal camps make freeze damage the top claim.
Ice dams
Heavy snow on old, leaky roofs sends meltwater into ceilings and walls.
Coastal and river flooding
Winter storms in January 2024 damaged working waterfronts, and the Kennebec flooded Augusta and Hallowell in December 2023.
Homes and how they are built
Maine's homes are the oldest on average in the country, with many farmhouses, capes and mill housing on stone foundations. Thousands of seasonal camps and cottages sit closed all winter.
When it happens
Freeze and ice dam season runs December through March. Coastal storms peak in winter; rivers flood with snowmelt and heavy rain.
Rules and insurance in Maine
Coastal policies may carry a hurricane or named-storm deductible.
In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Maine homeowners
How do I close a camp for winter without freeze damage?
Shut off the water, drain every line, the water heater and the traps, and add non-toxic antifreeze to traps. Many owners have a plumber blow out the lines.
The power went out for days. What should I check?
Once heat returns, look for dripping, low pressure and ceiling stains. Pipes that froze may only leak after they thaw.
Is storm surge covered by homeowners insurance?
No. Surge and coastal flooding need a flood policy.
