Local risks: Ovid and Clinton County

Ovid shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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:

• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage

3. The crew arrives, inspects the damage, stops further loss (extraction, board-up, containment) and explains the scope, timeline and how the insurance process will work.

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.

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.
