What causes water, fire and mold damage in Alvada

Alvada shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. Ohio's older housing stock, nearly universal basements and heavy spring rain make sewer backups, sump failures and foundation seepage the most common water losses, with burst pipes and ice dams every winter. Lake-effect snow in the northeast and river flooding along the Ohio add seasonal risk. Problems tend to peak during winter and the spring rainy season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Alvada property owners

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

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

When and where damage happens in Alvada

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

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.
