What causes water, fire and mold damage in Comstock Park

Comstock Park shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

In Comstock Park, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

Before the crew arrives

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

When and where damage happens in Comstock Park

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

The calendar matters here: burst pipes cluster in the coldest weeks of winter, while basement and roof leaks follow the heavy rains of spring and summer. 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.
