Midland homes and water damage
Many homes are mid-century houses with basements. Many Midland homes are mid-century houses with basements, including dozens designed by architect Alden B. Dow, and many near the Tittabawassee River were flooded in May 2020 when the Edenville and Sanford dams failed upstream. Homes repaired after the flood may hide moisture behind new drywall. Long, cold winters freeze pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces, and heavy snow causes ice dams. Many homes have basement family rooms and storage, so a sewer backup or burst pipe reaches valuable belongings quickly, and fast extraction makes the difference between drying and replacing carpet and drywall.

Midland questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Midland?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Midland Building department.
Do I need flood insurance in Midland?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Recent storms flooded many homes outside high-risk zones, so a separate flood policy is worth considering.
