Common property damage problems in Tippecanoe

Tippecanoe 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

Before the crew arrives

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

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• 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
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Whatever the construction type in Tippecanoe, 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.
