When do hose-failure claims peak, and what can a Macomb County homeowner take from it?

State Farm broke its 2020 hose-failure payouts down by month in a newsroom story dated July 27, 2021. The company paid nearly $30 million that year in homeowners claims for water damage from hose failures, and the average claim was $10,200, a figure it said can vary by state. The top months were September ($16 million), August ($15.5 million), October ($15 million), July ($14.5 million) and June ($10 million). Georgia, Florida, Texas, Alabama and California led the state list, and Michigan was not among the top five.

The story does not explain why late summer and early fall lead the list. It would be a guess to say that hot weather, longer wash loads or something else drives it, so this page does not guess. The practical point is that hose failure claims are not a winter problem. A Macomb County homeowner can cut the risk in any month by replacing hoses every three to five years, which State Farm advises in the same story along with a switch to steel braided hoses. The figures are national and cover every kind of hose, not only washers. The story is at newsroom.statefarm.com.

What should you do in the first hour after a washing machine floods in Macomb County?

1. Close the hot and cold valves behind the machine. If one will not turn, close the main water valve.
2. Unplug the machine, or switch off its breaker, before you step into standing water.
3. Call Prime Restoration at (586) 277-1069 before you call a repair person or your insurance company.
4. If the laundry is in the basement, check the finished room next to it. If it is upstairs, check the ceiling below.
5. Photograph the hoses, the valves, the floor and the walls. Note when the water started and when the machine last ran.
6. Lift small items off wet floors. Leave wet carpet, pad and drywall for the crew.
7. Call your insurance company when the water is stopped and Prime is on the way. Your carrier decides coverage under your policy.

Where is the laundry in a Macomb County house, and where does the water go?

Three layouts cover most Macomb County homes. A basement laundry sits on a slab and sends water toward the nearest finished room. A main-floor laundry in a hallway or mudroom sends water under walls into the next room. A second-floor laundry sends water down through the subfloor into the ceiling below. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2024 five-year estimates) shows how much the housing age varies:

Macomb County place	Median year built	Built before 1980
Eastpointe	1954	94%
St. Clair Shores	1957	91%
Roseville	1961	84%
Warren	1965	83%
Sterling Heights	1977	58%
Clinton Township	1980	51%
Shelby Township	1989	35%
Macomb Township	2000	13%

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 five-year estimates, tables B25035 and B25034.

Prime's own washing machine page says second-floor laundry rooms are now common in newer Macomb Township and Shelby Township builds. The Census figures do not report laundry location, so the table shows building age only. Along Gratiot Ave and Jefferson Ave in the older lakeshore cities, the first question is the basement. Along 23 Mile Rd and 26 Mile Rd in the newer townships, the first question is what sits under the laundry.

What happened in Macomb County that matters to a washing machine owner?

January 29 to 31, 2019: 36 hours below zero

The National Weather Service in Detroit reported 36 consecutive hours below zero in the January 2019 arctic outbreak, the longest such run since January 1994. A Wind Chill Warning ran from Tuesday evening into Thursday afternoon. A laundry in an unheated garage or on a cold exterior wall holds valves and hoses at the coldest point of the house. The NWS page is at weather.gov/dtx.

July 27, 2021: State Farm tallies hose failures

State Farm's newsroom story, quoted above, put a dollar value on hose failure claims for 2020. It is a national report, and Michigan was not among the five states with the largest payouts.

August 1, 2023: a pressure loss across northern Macomb County

On Tuesday, August 1, 2023, a broken main lowered water pressure in northern Macomb County. WDIV listed boil water advisories for Chesterfield Township, Lenox Township, Macomb Township, Rochester and New Haven, and reported that residents of New Baltimore and Shelby Township lost pressure. A pressure drop followed by a recovery tests every old hose in a house. After an event like this, check behind the washer for a drip. The WDIV map story is at clickondetroit.com.

Does homeowners insurance cover a washing machine leak in Macomb County?

A homeowners policy commonly covers sudden and accidental water damage, such as a washer hose that bursts. Long-term seepage is commonly excluded. Your carrier decides coverage under your policy. No one on this page can promise a payment.

The record you build in the first hour matters. Photographs of the hoses and the floor, a note of when you found the water, and a crew's moisture readings help a carrier tell a sudden failure from a slow one. Prime Restoration prepares that record and sends the adjuster an itemized estimate. See the sudden water damage claims guide, the washing machine leak page and the burst pipe emergency page.

What should you ask a Macomb County company before it starts?

• How long from your nearest office to my address?
• Will you read the walls and the rooms next to the laundry, or only the floor under the machine?
• Will I get daily moisture readings in writing?
• Who replaces the hose or the valve, and how soon?
• Do you rebuild, or do I hire someone else?
• Is your license current on the Michigan LARA lookup?

What does a crew check in the finished room next to a basement laundry?

A basement laundry often shares a wall with a finished room. Water that leaves the laundry area crosses the slab, slips under the wall's bottom plate and wets whatever is on the other side. The crew checks a short list of places that homeowners do not think of:

• The bottom few inches of drywall on both sides of the shared wall.
• The carpet tack strip and the pad under the carpet edge.
• The door jamb and the threshold between the rooms.
• The cabinet bases and toe-kicks along the wall.
• Baseboard and the gap behind it.
• The floor drain, if one exists, to see whether it carried the water away.

Drywall that wicked water two inches up looks fine from the room. A moisture meter finds the line. The crew marks it, removes only what cannot dry in place, and photographs the work for your adjuster. In a finished basement in Warren, Roseville or Clinton Township, this check decides whether a laundry flood stays a one-room job or becomes a two-room job.

What can a Macomb County homeowner replace, and what needs a plumber?

A homeowner can replace a washer hose with a wrench and a bit of care. Close both valves. Disconnect the old hose into a bucket. Fit the new hose with its washer inside the coupling, and snug the fitting by hand and a quarter turn more. Open the valve slowly and look for drips. Write the date on the hose.

Some jobs need a licensed plumber. A valve that will not close, a valve that leaks at the stem, a standpipe that backs up, a supply pipe that drips inside the wall and any change to the pipes behind the machine all call for one. Prime Restoration can help get a licensed plumber out in Macomb County, and the crew dries the room while the plumber works.

How do leak sensors and automatic shutoff valves help?

A leak sensor sits on the floor near the machine and sounds an alarm or sends a phone alert when it gets wet. An automatic shutoff valve goes on the supply lines and closes them when it senses water. A sensor tells you. A shutoff valve acts on its own. Neither one replaces a good hose, and both need batteries or power. If you have a washer on the second floor or next to a finished room, a sensor is cheap insurance. Prime's washing machine leak page covers prevention in more detail.

What does the adjuster want to see after a washer leak?

• Photographs of the hoses, the valves and the machine, taken before they are moved.
• A note of when you found the water and when the machine last ran.
• The repair person's note on which part failed.
• Moisture readings and photographs of every wet surface, including the room next to the laundry and the ceiling below.
• A list of what was removed and why.
• An itemized estimate for the repair and the rebuild.

Prime Restoration collects the photographs and readings on the first visit and prepares the list and the estimate. Your carrier decides coverage under your policy.

What does the rebuild look like after a laundry flood?

When the readings reach the dry standard, the crew removes the equipment and the rebuild starts. A laundry room rebuild can include new subfloor or underlayment, new drywall on the lower walls, new baseboard, paint and flooring. A finished room next door may need new carpet and pad. A second-floor laundry often needs new ceiling drywall and paint below. Prime Restoration does the work under Michigan Residential Builder License #262500492, so one company handles the drying and the rebuild.

Why do front-load and top-load washers fail in different ways?

A top loader has two supply hoses and a drain hose. Its floods come mostly from a hose that burst or a drain hose that slipped. A front loader has the same three hoses plus a door boot and a drain pump filter. Its leaks come from a boot that tore, a filter cover that did not close and, less often, a hose. A front loader's slow leak can run for weeks before anyone sees it, while a hose failure on either type shows up fast. The crew reads the floor under and around the machine in both cases, because the readings tell how far the water went.

Is the water from a washer leak clean water?

It depends on the side of the machine the water came from. Water from a supply hose left the pipes clean. Water from a drain hose or a standpipe carries soap, lint and soil from the load, so it starts less clean. Water from a door boot leak is a little of each. The difference matters most when the water sits. The trade magazine Cleanfax reports that the 2015 edition of the IICRC S500 water damage standard says time and temperature can change the contamination of standing water. A supply-hose flood pulled out in the first hours is a drying job. The same flood left through a warm weekend on carpet and pad can become a removal job. Read the Cleanfax summary of the S500-2015 key terms for the wording.

What do the words on a restoration estimate mean?

An estimate for a laundry flood uses a few terms. Knowing them lets you compare two quotes line by line.

• Extraction: removing standing water with pumps and vacuums.
• Demolition: removing materials that cannot dry, such as soaked pad or sagging drywall.
• Air mover: a fan that moves air across wet surfaces.
• Dehumidifier: a machine that pulls water vapor out of the air so surfaces keep drying.
• Moisture mapping: the readings taken on each wet material and recorded by room.
• Monitoring: the repeat visits that take new readings until the dry standard is reached.
• Reconstruction: the rebuild after drying, including drywall, paint, trim and flooring.

Ask each company which of these lines are in its quote. A quote that lists equipment but no monitoring leaves out the part that proves the work is done.

Which Macomb County cities does Prime serve for washer leaks, and what do the Census numbers say about each?
