Local risks: Jonesville and Hillsdale County

Property owners in Jonesville 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

What to do right now

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

• 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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

When and where damage happens in Jonesville

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.
