Ohio water damage
What causes water damage in Ohio
Ohio coverage spans Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron, Toledo and Dayton. Most homes have basements, many are older, and freeze-thaw cycles and heavy spring rains are common. Basement flooding, sewer backups and frozen pipes drive most calls.
Basement seepage
Spring rain and snowmelt push water through cracks and the wall-floor joint.
Sewer backups
Older combined sewers in several cities back up during storms.
Frozen pipes
Winter cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls and crawl spaces.
Water damage risk by season in Ohio
Ohio's flooding risk peaks from late winter through spring, when heavy rain and snowmelt raise the Ohio River and its tributaries and fill basements. Severe storms come in spring and summer, and heavy summer downpours overwhelm older combined sewer systems. Winter cold snaps freeze pipes, and ice dams form on older homes.
Licensing, permits and insurance in Ohio
Ohio doesn't license general contractors statewide, though many cities require local registration. Plumbers, electricians and HVAC contractors are licensed by the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board.
FEMA records
Storm, flood and fire disasters in Ohio since 2000
FEMA has issued 24 major disaster declarations in Ohio for weather and fire events since 2000, and Ohio policyholders filed 15,051 flood insurance claims through the National Flood Insurance Program in that time. Most homeowners policies exclude flooding from outside water, so those claims come from separate flood policies.
