Common property damage problems in Olivet

Property owners in Olivet 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.

In Olivet, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

Before the crew arrives

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• 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
• 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

When and where damage happens in Olivet

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.
