The pro near Crystal Lake.

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.

Crystal Lake's median home dates to 1986, and about four in ten were built before 1980, so the housing runs from older lake-area cottages to 1990s subdivisions. Long Illinois winters mean freeze-thaw at the foundation, ice dams on low-slope roofs, and supply lines that need watching in exterior walls. Basements are common, and spring melt sends water toward sump pits and floor drains. Hail adds roof and siding work in storm season, and hard water is a quiet tax on water heaters and fixtures.

What that means for a call

Hard freezes and older housing are a difficult combination. In Crystal Lake, where the median home was built in 1986 and about 41% 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.
