Storm and water damage in Brunswick, Medina County
Brunswick is Medina County's largest city, mostly suburban housing from the 1960s through 1990s just south of Cuyahoga County. Brunswick is about 20 miles from downtown Cleveland.
Roof and hail
Large subdivisions of similar age mean storm damage often hits many roofs at once, and older roofs may be paid at actual cash value.
Water and basements
Clay soils and basements make sump pumps essential; failures during storms are common.
Sewer backup
Brunswick's public sanitary sewers are operated by Medina County Sanitary Engineers (330-723-9585). The county maintains the main and the part of the lateral in the public right-of-way; the homeowner is responsible for the lateral from the house to the county main. So the first call after a backup is the county, and the next may be a plumber with a camera.
Mold
Finished basements hide mold after sump failures.
Permits
Contact the City of Brunswick building department about permits for roof replacement and structural repairs; reputable contractors usually pull them for you.
