Common property damage problems in Peck

The risks in Peck in Sanilac 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:

• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• 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
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

First steps for Peck property owners

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• 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 Peck

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.
