What causes water damage around Dolton

In Illinois, property owners deal with cold winters, humid summers and a lot of homes with basements. The causes we hear about most are sump pump failure and basement flooding, severe storms, hail and wind that open up roofs and spring snowmelt and river flooding. Basement flooding peaks in spring and early summer, and freezing pipes become the bigger worry from late November through February.

Wind, hail, heavy rain and ice can open a roof, and ceiling and roof leak water damage explains what comes next. Split and frozen lines are a leading source of indoor flooding, which is covered in our burst pipe water damage repair page.
