Local risks: New Rumley and the surrounding area

Property owners in New Rumley 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• 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
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

What to do right now

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

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

When and where damage happens in New Rumley

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

The calendar matters here: burst pipes cluster in the coldest weeks of winter, while basement and roof leaks follow the heavy rains of spring and summer. 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.
