Common property damage problems in Erie
The risks in Erie in Cass County are shaped by North Dakota's climate and housing. North Dakota's brutal winters freeze pipes and build ice dams, and the spring melt regularly pushes the Red River and other waterways out of their banks into basements. Summer brings hail and severe storms. Problems tend to peak during winter and spring flood season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.
Typical emergencies in the area:
- Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
- Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
- Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
- Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
- Toilet and tub overflows
- Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
- Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
- Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
- Window condensation and attic frost in winter
- Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

When and where damage happens in Erie
Whatever the construction type in Erie, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.
The coldest stretches of winter produce a surge in frozen and burst pipe calls, and the spring thaw brings the groundwater problems that follow. 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.
