Common property damage problems in Rolling Meadows

Rolling Meadows 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.

In Rolling Meadows, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• 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
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

What to do right now

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

• 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
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• 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

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Rolling Meadows

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.
