For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Late-1970s and 1980s subdivision housing defines Buffalo Grove, where the median build year is 1981 and just under half the homes predate 1980. Hard freezes and lake-effect snow are the seasonal pressure, with ice dams on roofs and burst pipes in exterior walls and unheated garages. Hail takes siding, gutters, and roof vents, and hard water shortens water heater life. About 43,000 residents in a single ZIP code in Lake County, and eight in ten homes are owner-occupied, so upkeep tends to be steady and planned.

What that means for a call

Hard freezes and older housing are a difficult combination. In Buffalo Grove, where the median home was built in 1981 and about 45% predate 1980, a winter call often starts with a pipe on an exterior wall or a shutoff that has not moved in years.

Local watch-outs

  • Know where the main water shutoff is before a pipe freezes. During a deep freeze, open the cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let a faucet trickle.
  • After hail, check the roof, gutters, and skylights from the ground before climbing up. Note the date and take photos before anything is repaired.
  • Check the basement or crawlspace after heavy rain. Most seepage starts at a wall joint, a window well, or a downspout that dumps too close to the foundation.
  • Hard water shortens the life of water heaters, faucets, and shower valves. Regular descaling or a softener can reduce the scale, but it will not fix a failed part.
