Local risks: Union Furnace and Hocking County

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

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics

First steps for Union Furnace property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Union Furnace

Whatever the construction type in Union Furnace, 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.
