Local risks: Glenn and the surrounding area

The risks in Glenn 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.

In Glenn, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

Before the crew arrives

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
• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Glenn

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.
