Common property damage problems in East China

Local conditions in East China follow the broader pattern across 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

What to do right now

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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

1. You call (888) 755-3821 and tell us what you are dealing with and your East China address.
2. Your call is routed to a local restoration company with availability. They confirm details, give an arrival window and tell you what to do in the meantime.

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.

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.
