Local risks: Springfield and Clark County

Springfield 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels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
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

Before the crew arrives

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Springfield

Whatever the construction type in Springfield, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
