Common property damage problems in Irwin

Property owners in Irwin deal with the same regional risks found throughout Ohio. 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 Irwin, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• 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
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

What to do right now

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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

When and where damage happens in Irwin

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.
