Walpole, MA homes and water
Walpole is a snowy town of mostly owned homes. NOAA climate normals count about 56 inches of snow a year, 127 nights at or below 32 degrees and 23 days that never rise above freezing. Census figures show 54% of homes were built before 1980 and 20% before 1950, and 17% are rented. Pipes in exterior walls and basements of older houses freeze and split, so burst pipe cleanup is a winter risk here.
Flood claims in Norfolk County run a little above the state rate. FEMA flood insurance records show 1.5 claims per 1,000 homes there from 2016 to 2025, against 1.2 for the state, and only 1.5% of county homes carry flood insurance. Norfolk County also logged 36 days with flash flood or flood reports in those years and has had 11 major disaster declarations for floods and storms since 2000. Snowmelt that seeps into a basement from outside is not covered by a standard policy.
Calls from Walpole reach the restoration company for the Taunton area, the same one that handles water removal in Norfolk.

What to do first in Walpole
Walpole averages about 56 inches of snow a year by NOAA climate normals, and melting snow on a roof can back up under the roof edge and drip through a ceiling. If water is coming through a ceiling, turn off the breakers for that room before anything else, since water near light fixtures is dangerous. For a pipe leak, close the main shutoff.
Photograph the stain, the drip and damaged belongings, then move rugs, furniture and electronics out of the way. Any ceiling leak repair waits until the roof or pipe is fixed and the cavity is dry. Aim to have drying underway within 24 to 48 hours. The crew also takes jobs for water removal in Sharon. You can call 24/7, and someone will answer.
