The pro near Cicero.

IL

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.

Few cities of this size have housing as uniformly old as Cicero's. About 92 percent of homes predate 1980, and the median build year is 1938, so brick two-flats and older single-family houses dominate. Many still have original drain lines, older electrical service, and heating systems that have been rebuilt rather than replaced. Hard winters and repeated freeze-thaw are the main pressure, especially on pipes in exterior walls and unheated basements. Hail and hard water round out the list, one working on roofs and gutters, the other on heaters and fixtures.

What that means for a call

With a median build year of 1938 and about 92% of homes standing before 1980, Cicero has a lot of housing that predates modern shutoffs, wiring, and drain materials. That does not mean every repair is a system replacement, but the age of the house is worth mentioning on the call.

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.
