Common Water Damage Problems in Westwood
Ice dam roof leaks
Heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles build ice dams along roof edges, forcing meltwater under shingles and into ceilings. This is a regular call-out in Kalamazoo, and the fix starts with finding where the water is coming from.
Basement seepage
A high water table and heavy rain push water through basement walls and floor joints in many Michigan homes. Homes in Westwood see this one often, and it is usually worse than it looks at first.
Flash flooding from heavy rain
Summer thunderstorms flood low-lying streets and basements, where paved ground and old drains cannot keep up. We see this across Westwood after most big storms, and the earlier it is caught the smaller the repair.
Sewer backup during heavy rain
Older combined sewers in Detroit and other cities can back up into basements when a big storm overwhelms them. We see this across Westwood after most big storms, and the earlier it is caught the smaller the repair.
Signs You Need a Water Damage Pro in Westwood
- A musty smell that will not go away — damp drywall or carpet in Westwood homes often hides mold long before it is visible.
- Warped floors or bubbling paint — wood and drywall swell when they absorb water, even from a small leak.
- Water stains on ceilings or walls — a stain usually means water has been travelling inside the wall for a while.
- A water bill that suddenly jumps — a hidden leak can waste hundreds of gallons a day without a single visible puddle.
- Visible mold or dark spots — mold after water damage needs professional drying and cleaning, not just bleach on the surface.

Seasonal Water Damage Tips for Westwood
Spring
Michigan springs are snowmelt season. Run the sump pump, look for seepage on basement walls, and make sure downspouts carry water away from the foundation.
Summer
Summer in Michigan is humid and stormy. Watch for mold behind furniture and under sinks, and keep dehumidifiers running in basements.
Fall
Heavy rain continues into the fall. Clean the gutters, seal gaps around windows and doors, and make sure outdoor faucets are shut off before the first freeze.
Winter
Winter in Michigan means deep cold and lake-effect snow. Keep the heat on, drip faucets on the coldest nights, and watch for ice dams along the roof edges.
