What Hanover homeowners deal with
Hanover gets more snow than most of Plymouth County, averaging 51 inches a year against 39 for the county, by NOAA climate normals. Heavy snow shapes winter damage here. Ice at the eaves holds meltwater against the roof edge, and it finds a way into attic insulation and the ceilings below. Freezing is milder than the county average, with 115 nights a year at or below 32 degrees against 125.
Hanover is a town of owners. Census figures show 13% of homes are rented and 8% sit in buildings with 5 or more units. About 57% were built before 1980, so basements with older water heaters and original copper lines are common. When one fails, the owner finds it and makes the first decisions.
Plymouth County logged 23 days with flash flood or flood reports from 2016 to 2025. FEMA's National Risk Index puts Hanover's yearly inland flood loss at $55 per $100,000 of building value, below the county's 61. Ceiling leak repair after a thaw starts with drying the attic above. Owners can also ask for water removal in Rockland.

The first hour in Hanover
Hanover is a town of owners, with 13% of homes rented, so the first steps usually fall to you. Close the main shutoff, typically in the basement where the line comes through the foundation; in a house built before 1980, like 57% of homes here, it may be a stiff gate valve. Next, cut power to the basement or wet rooms at the panel. Photograph the source and everything wet. Move boxes, rugs and electronics upstairs or onto shelves. On one of the 38 nights a year at 20 degrees or colder, a split pipe is the likely cause, so keep the heat on until burst pipe cleanup begins. The line takes calls 24/7 from across the Taunton area.
