Frozen & Burst Pipe Damage
Pipes split while frozen and leak when they thaw. The water arrives on the warm day, often days after the cold that caused it.

Vacant & Second-Home Water Damage
A leak in an occupied house is found in hours. In an empty one it runs until the next visit, and that time is the size of the loss.
Learn more - Priority
Snowmelt & Runoff Flooding
A winter of snow melts in a few weeks. Frozen or saturated ground sends it toward the lowest point, which is often a basement.

Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage
Snow melts over the warm roof and refreezes at the eave. The ridge of ice holds water back until it finds its way inside.

Sewage & Septic Backup Cleanup
A septic system that cannot drain - frozen lines, thawing ground - sends water back to the lowest drain in the building. It is sewage whatever it looks like.

Local housing stock
In Erie, 6.6 percent of the homes predate 1990 and the median one was built in 2008; a building's age decides where its water lines run and how much of them sits outside the heat. The few older houses, many around Old Town Erie, carry the most exposed plumbing, while the newer subdivisions and townhomes like Creekside keep their lines mostly inside the heat.
Climate & seasonal risk
The freeze season in Erie runs 5 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 14.4 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 16.17 inches in a normal year, 2.6 fall in May, the wettest month, rain recorded at ERIE 1.5 NNE 0.6 miles away and temperatures 9.2 miles away. January brings the coldest nights here, and a new house's weak points, the garage and the outdoor faucets, are the ones those nights find.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Older houses in the original town, where plumbing runs through crawl spaces and along outside walls
- Townhomes, about one home in ten, where water from an empty unit reaches the neighbor through a shared wall
- Outdoor faucets and garage lines in newer houses, the parts of the plumbing that sit outside the heat
