What causes water damage around Detroit
In Michigan, property owners deal with cold winters, humid summers and a lot of homes with basements. The causes we hear about most are spring snowmelt and river flooding, frozen pipes in unheated spaces during cold snaps and sump pump failure and basement flooding. Basement flooding peaks in spring and early summer, and freezing pipes become the bigger worry from late November through February.
Many homes here have basements or crawlspaces that take on water, so see how basement flooding cleanup works. Wind, hail, heavy rain and ice can open a roof, and ceiling and roof leak water damage explains what comes next.
