Having experienced major water damage in another home we owned, I knew exactly what was happening when water started dripping from the chandelier at Sugarwood. The ceiling, windows, walls and floors were soaked by the end of the day — it was every homeowner’s nightmare. In this video, I’m sharing what happened, what we’ve learned, and the steps we’re taking to repair and protect our historic home. Unfortunately, ice dams played a big role in this disaster, making the damage possible again with more snow on the way.
