Local risks: Grosse Ile and Wayne County

The risks in Grosse Ile in Wayne 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• 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
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

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
• 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
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Many homes date back decades, with galvanized pipes, cast iron sewer lines and electrical systems that were never designed for modern loads.

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.
