Flint homes and water damage
Carriage Town, Mott Park and Civic Park have early- and mid-1900s homes with basements and aging plumbing. Many homes have been vacant for a time, which can hide water damage. Many homes in Civic Park and Mott Park were built for autoworkers in the 1920s–1940s, with basements, plaster walls and hardwood floors. Water service lines have been replaced across much of the city, but interior pipes, water heaters and old drain lines can still fail with age.
Frozen pipes
Michigan cold freezes pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces.
Ice dams
Snow and freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams that leak into ceilings.

Aging plumbing

Vacant-home damage

Flint River flooding
Heavy rain raises the Flint River and its creeks, flooding low areas nearby.
