Common Causes of Water Damage in Chicago
Chicago was built on low-lying swampland, making its homes and buildings vulnerable to flooding and storm runoff, which, while uncommon, can pour into the basements of residences and businesses. Blizzards and even ice storms can blow in from the Great Lakes. During cold weather, water pipes may freeze and burst in uninsulated locations such as basements. Rain storms can overwhelm runoff systems, causing water to back up into commercial and residential properties.
Aging plumbing, pipes, and drainage systems are common in older Chicago homes, and failures in these systems can result in water damage. Tree and plant roots can infiltrate and clog old drainage and sewage pipes, often necessitating the need for flooded basement cleanups in Chicago.
In addition, Chicago residences and businesses may suffer other types of water damage:
- Dishwashers and other water appliances may leak as they age.
- Clogged sewers and drains can back up, causing serious water damage.
- Cracks in foundations, walls, or roofs can allow moisture to seep into buildings, causing wood rot and mold growth.
Your local Roto-Rooter plumbers provide water damage restoration in Chicago quickly, efficiently, and professionally.
