Local risks: Lowellville and Mahoning County

Property owners in Lowellville 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 Lowellville, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

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
• 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
• 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

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.
