And it can happen at any time.   

Bad Weather Can Come As Rain, Snow, Or Floods

Here on the western border of the state, natural beauty and history flow along the Mississippi River. But in the springtime, the snowmelt swells the river and many of its tributaries and leads to floods. Summer storms can dump several inches of rain. 

Hail can break windows, High winds can blow down a dead tree limb into your home. Tornadoes are becoming more common across Illinois over the years,

Frozen Pipes and Ice Dams

Quincy winters are notorious for icy roads and frozen weather. When the temperature drops, exposed pipes can freeze. When the bad weather breaks, the pipes can burst and flood your home.

Winter cold snaps can also damage your roof. Repeated freezing and thawing of rooftop snow can cause enough damage to the roof to cause a leak. And it might be a while before you know there’s a problem. After an ice dam, you need to repair damage to insulation, joists and sheetrock. 

HVAC Units 

In a hot, humid Illinois summer the air conditioning unit can work overtime. If not maintained, bacteria and debris can build up and clog the outflowing drain. Then the system backs up, overflows, and floods the aea gourd the HVAC. Now you have a double disaster– a hot house and water damage.  

Sump Pump Problems 

You have a sump pump to keep your basement dry. The “sump ‘is a pit, usually carved below the main surface of your basement floor. The pump is equipped with valves to sense rising water levels. All this works to reliably remove water. 

But they break! The most common cause of sump pump failure is a power outage. Or, when discharge lines become frozen or clogged, the system fails. In rare cases, there is a continuous flow of water into the sump pit due to a high water table or an underground spring, overwhelming the system.

Hot Water Heater Problems

As regular as clockwork, someone on your street is dealing with a failed hot water heater. The expected life for a standard gas-powered water heater, is about 8-12 years. And when it fails, it sends more than 40 gallons of dirty water into your home. 

Disasters Often Come From Boring Situations, Too!

Even disastrous water damage can come from mundane sources: damaged pipes, broken appliances, clogged drains, and overflowing bathtubs. The scale depends on the amount of water, the source of water, and how long it takes to get the clean up crew there. In all cases, “the sooner, the better.”
