Living in New England, you might not initially think of water damage as a common issue. But the fact remains that many families and employers are affected by it each year. This is partially due to our beautiful four-season climate. During the spring season, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and other inclement weather can cause storm flooding, especially to houses on lower ground. Along with harsh winter weather comes the possibility of frozen and burst pipes when the temperature drops low enough (usually below 20 degrees Fahrenheit). Heavy snowfall can also cause ice damming, where a cliff of ice on the edge of your roof prevents water from running off, and instead seeping into your house. Other causes of water damage include sewage backups, plumbing and structural issues, or a leaky roofs. Peniel Environmental staff are passionate about serving you and your family, or employees and are extremely knowledgeable about the particular challenges that come with water damage and it’s mitigation in the New England region.

Common Water Damage Mitigation Needs

There are countless types of water damage that require mitigation, the most common are:

  • Frozen pipe damage mitigation
  • Burst pipe damage mitigation
  • Sewage backup mitigation
  • Flood damage mitigation
  • Storm damage mitigation
Water damage to your commercial property or home can cause more troubles than you know and prompt mitigation of damage is critical

Aside from the obvious inconveniences of water damage to your home, there are many other issues that can arise, including:

  • Displacement from the home: Unfortunately, most instances of water damage require vacating the property while it is cleared and repaired. Our aim is to get your family back in your home as quickly as possible.
  • Property Damage: With any water damage, there is bound to be some damage to your personal affects and possessions. While we will do our best to salvage everything possible, it is likely that some items will need to be disposed of and replaced.
  • Sanitary and health risks: Any type of water damage, whether it comes from a sewage backup, a burst pipe or storm flooding can cause a health risk of varying severity to you and your family. During this stressful and trying time, we know that your family’s safety is the most important factor, and we are committed to that value.
  • Structural damage: It is possible your home will suffer some form of structural damage, depending on the scope of the water damage. Our goal is to reduce this as much as possible, and to do so we need to act quickly.

Common questions

Before You Call, the Honest Answers.

How fast can a contractor get to a Vermont property?

2–4 hours target for most Vermont locations. Vermont is Vermont's largest city with the strongest contractor coverage in the state.

Is ice dam damage common in Vermont?

Very. Vermont's 87.5-inch average snowfall makes it one of the most ice-dam-affected cities in New England. If your property has older attic insulation and you've had a cold winter, ice dam assessment after a thaw event is strongly recommended even without visible water stains.
