Water damage in Northville
Northville is a small city near Novi, with 6,080 residents in 2,766 homes. Its houses are old, and Census figures date 27% of them to before 1950 and 67% to before 1980. Homes that age may still have original drain lines and plaster walls, and plaster holds water once a leak gets behind it.
The city also runs colder than Wayne County as a whole. By NOAA's climate normals, it has 146 nights a year at or below 32 degrees, against 127 for the county. A pipe in an exterior wall can split on one of those nights and stay hidden until the thaw. Burst pipe cleanup then means opening the wall so the cavity dries along with the floor.

First steps after a leak in Northville
Northville runs colder than Wayne County, with 146 nights a year that drop to 32 degrees or lower against 127 countywide. On those nights an attic line or a pipe in an exterior wall can freeze, then leak as it thaws. Close the main shutoff first; it is usually in the basement near the meter.
Switch off breakers for wet rooms if the panel is dry. Photograph the source, the ceiling and the floor before anything is moved. Then carry boxes and rugs out of the basement or onto shelves. Northville counts 53 days a year that stay below freezing, and a leak in a house left empty over a trip can run for days, so ask a neighbor to look in during a cold snap. Ceiling leak repair after a frozen attic line starts once the area is dry. The phone is answered 24/7.
