Seasonal Water Damage Considerations in Downtown Midland

Downtown Midland's climate means water damage risks change with the seasons. From spring floods to winter pipe bursts, here is what to expect and how to prepare.

  • Spring

    • Spring thaws and heavy rain can cause basement flooding and sump pump failures. The Tittabawassee River may rise, increasing flood risk in Riverside Place and other low-lying areas.
    • Test your sump pump and clear gutters before spring rains. If you experience flooding, call us for emergency water extraction.
  • Summer

    • Summer storms can bring heavy rain and flash flooding. High humidity can also slow drying times, making professional dehumidification essential.
    • Check for leaks around windows and doors. If you notice musty odors, call us for a moisture inspection.
  • Fall

    • Fall leaves can clog gutters and downspouts, causing water to back up into roofs and basements. Cooler temperatures can also cause pipes to contract and leak.
    • Clean gutters and downspouts before winter. Insulate exposed pipes in basements and crawl spaces.
  • Winter

    • Freezing temperatures can cause pipes to burst, especially in older buildings with poor insulation. Ice dams can also form on roofs, leading to leaks.
    • Keep your thermostat at 55°F or higher, even when away. If a pipe freezes, thaw it slowly with a hair dryer or call a plumber.
