Common property damage problems in Glencoe

The risks in Glencoe in Belmont County are shaped by Ohio's climate and housing. 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.

In Glencoe, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation
• Basement walls and floors that stay damp after rain and snowmelt

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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• 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

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

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.
