Ice storms
Winter ice storms knock out power and freeze pipes, as in December 2013.
Frozen pipes and ice dams
Cold winters freeze pipes and create ice dams on older roofs.
Basement water
Heavy rain floods basements in older homes.
Older roofs
Many older homes have aging roofs and limited attic insulation, which leads to ice dams and leaks after heavy snow.
Older sewer laterals
Older homes have clay sewer laterals that crack and fill with roots, causing basement backups.
Student rental leaks
Rentals near Michigan State change tenants often, and leaks can go unreported.
