What causes water, fire and mold damage in Orangeville

The risks in Orangeville in Stephenson 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Failing galvanized, cast iron and polybutylene plumbing in older homes
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

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

• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Orangeville

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.
