What causes water, fire and mold damage in Saint Clair Shores

Saint Clair Shores 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.

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
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

Before the crew arrives

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

• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

When and where damage happens in Saint Clair Shores

Older housing stock adds aging plumbing, cast iron drains and original wiring to the list of things that fail.

The calendar matters here: burst pipes cluster in the coldest weeks of winter, while basement and roof leaks follow the heavy rains of spring and summer. 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.
