Common property damage problems in Croswell
Property owners in Croswell deal with the same regional risks found throughout Michigan. 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.
The calls crews receive most often from this area include:
- Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
- Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
- Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
- Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
- Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
- Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
- Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
- Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
- Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
- Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation
What to do right now
The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:
- 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
- Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
- Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
- 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
- After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

When and where damage happens in Croswell
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.
