Storm and water damage in Strongsville, Cuyahoga County
Strongsville grew rapidly from the 1970s onward, so much of the housing is suburban subdivisions with attached garages and basements. The East Branch of the Rocky River runs through the city. Strongsville is about 15 miles from downtown Cleveland.
Roof and hail
Large subdivisions built in the same decades means many roofs are reaching the end of their life together, and a hail storm can lead to a wave of claims on one street.
Water and basements
Low-lying areas near the Rocky River branches and older subdivisions with aging sump pumps are common sources of basement water.
Sewer backup
Newer Strongsville subdivisions generally have separate storm and sanitary sewers, but heavy rain can still overload sanitary lines through cracked laterals and illegal sump or downspout connections. Report a backup to the city and check your policy for a backup endorsement.
Mold
Finished basements in 1970s-1990s homes often hide mold behind drywall after a sump failure.
Permits
Contact the City of Strongsville building department about permits for roof replacement and structural repairs; reputable contractors usually pull them for you.
