Local risks: Naperville and DuPage County

The risks in Naperville in DuPage County are shaped by Illinois's climate and housing. 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.

In Naperville, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

First steps for Naperville property owners

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

• 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
• 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
• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Naperville

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.
