Common causes of water damage in Cleveland
Frozen and burst pipes
Long, cold winters freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and unheated rooms; the damage often shows when they thaw.
Basement water
Most Cleveland homes have basements. Heavy rain, snowmelt, failed sump pumps and sewer backups are the usual causes of basement flooding.
Ice dams
Snow that melts and refreezes at the roof edge can back water up under shingles and into ceilings and walls.
Older housing
Much of the housing stock is old, with aging supply lines, drains and roofs that are more prone to leaks.
What to do right now
- Shut off the water at the main valve if it's a pipe or appliance.
- Stay away from water near outlets and the electrical panel.
- Photograph everything before cleanup, for your insurer.
- Start drying: the EPA says drying within 24–48 hours prevents mold in most cases (EPA: A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home).
