Local risks: Lisle and DuPage County

Property owners in Lisle deal with the same regional risks found throughout 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:

• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• River flooding when nearby waterways crest after prolonged rain
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

What to do right now

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

From your call to a crew at the door

1. You call (888) 755-3821 and tell us what you are dealing with and your Lisle address.
2. Your call is routed to a local restoration company with availability. They confirm details, give an arrival window and tell you what to do in the meantime.
3. The crew arrives, inspects the damage, stops further loss (extraction, board-up, containment) and explains the scope, timeline and how the insurance process will work.
4. Mitigation, cleaning and drying proceed with daily monitoring, and repairs restore the property to pre-loss condition.

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Older housing stock adds aging plumbing, cast iron drains and original wiring to the list of things that fail.

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.
