Westport, MA homes and water
Westport is a coastal farm town of 16,382 residents. Seasonal homes make up 7% of its housing, against 1% for Bristol County. Shore cottages closed for the winter can sit unheated, and a split pipe there may run until the owner returns in spring.
Most homes are older and owner-occupied. Census figures show 62% were built before 1980 and 22% before 1950, while 16% are rented. Older farmhouses may have pipes in crawl spaces and along outside walls, where cold air reaches them first.
The coast softens the cold a little, with 105 nights a year at or below 32 degrees against 123 for the county. Even so, NOAA climate normals count 24 days a year that never rise above freezing, and the town averages 38 inches of snow. FEMA's National Risk Index puts yearly coastal flood loss at $4 per $100,000 of building value, matching the state. Surge and wind-driven rain bring Category 3 water when they get inside, and flood damage restoration removes what it soaks. Water removal in Fall River deals with the same coastal weather.

What to do first in Westport
Westport has more seasonal homes than the rest of Bristol County, 7% against 1%, and a summer house left with water in its pipes can burst in midwinter and run for days. If you own one, shut the main and drain the lines before the cold. When you do find water, close the main shutoff, usually in the basement or crawlspace. Kill power to the wet rooms at the breaker box, but only from dry ground. Photograph the water line, the burst pipe and each damaged item, and note the last date anyone was in the house. Lift what you can off the floor and pull furniture away from wet walls. Then call. The line is answered 24/7, so you can call from wherever you are.
