Schaumburg homes and water damage
Weathersfield has mostly 1960s–1970s homes with basements or crawlspaces. Lexington Fields and newer areas have 1980s–1990s homes and townhomes. Many Weathersfield homes are 1960s–1970s split-levels and ranches with basements or crawlspaces, and original plumbing is reaching the end of its life. Townhomes and condos share walls, so one leak can spread to neighbors. When a sump pump fails during a summer storm, water spreads across the lower level quickly.
Basement flooding
Heavy rain overwhelms sump pumps and floods basements.
Sewer backups
Summer storms overload sewers and back water into floor drains.
Frozen pipes
Chicago-area cold freezes pipes in exterior walls and garages.
Ice dams
Snow and freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams.
Townhome leaks
Shared walls mean one leak can spread to neighbors.
Sump pump failures
Power outages during storms stop sump pumps exactly when they're needed most.
Severe storms
Summer storms bring high winds and hail that damage roofs and bring trees down across the northwest suburbs.
Older plumbing
1960s–1970s homes have aging water heaters and supply lines near the end of their life.
