Common property damage problems in Cypress

Local conditions in Cypress follow the broader pattern across Illinois. Illinois homes are mostly built over basements, and sump pump failures, sewer backups during heavy rain, and burst pipes during polar cold snaps are the state's most common water losses. Older Chicago-area housing stock and river flooding along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers add to the exposure. Problems tend to peak during spring rains and mid-winter cold, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

Before the crew arrives

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Many homes date back decades, with galvanized pipes, cast iron sewer lines and electrical systems that were never designed for modern loads.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
