Other risks in Toledo
Basement flooding
Flat terrain and older sewers mean heavy rain backs water into basements.
Lake Erie and river flooding
Point Place and other low areas flood when lake levels are high and storms push water ashore.
Frozen pipes
Cold winters freeze pipes in older homes.
Maumee River flooding
The Maumee River can flood low-lying neighborhoods during heavy spring rain and snowmelt, and ice jams sometimes raise water levels quickly in late winter.
