What causes water, fire and mold damage in Allenton

The risks in Allenton in St. Clair County are shaped by Michigan's climate and housing. Michigan homes almost always have basements, and sewer backups and sump failures during intense summer rain, plus burst pipes and ice dams in winter, make up most of the state's water damage. Lake-effect snow and heavy roof loads add to the risk on the west side of the state. Problems tend to peak during winter and the spring thaw, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Older housing stock adds aging plumbing, cast iron drains and original wiring to the list of things that fail.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
