Local risks: New Baden and Clinton County

New Baden shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

What to do right now

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
• 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
• 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
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• 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.

The calendar matters here: burst pipes cluster in the coldest weeks of winter, while basement and roof leaks follow the heavy rains of spring and summer. 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.
