Snow causes ice dams. Summer storms bring high winds that damage roofs.
Most homes are 1950s–1970s ranches with basements. Most Livonia homes are 1950s–1970s brick ranches and colonials with basements, many finished with carpet, drywall and family rooms. Floor drains tied into sewers backed up across the city during the 2014 and 2021 storms, soaking finished basements and stored belongings. Many homes have original water heaters and galvanized supply lines reaching the end of their life, and long, cold winters freeze pipes in exterior walls and garages. Many basements have bedrooms, offices 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.
