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.

Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycle meets a housing stock with a 1972 median build year in Janesville, where about 63 percent of homes predate 1980 and ownership runs near two in three. Winters are long, with hard freezes and snow that load roofs and clog gutters. Basements are common, so sump pumps, floor drains, and foundation cracks get attention every spring thaw. Hard water is the quieter issue, scaling water heaters and fixtures and shortening the life of appliances that otherwise have years left.

What that means for a call

The median home in Janesville dates to 1972, and about 63% of the stock predates 1980. The bigger local pressure is the freeze: exterior walls, unheated crawlspaces, and hose bibs are the first places a pipe gives way. Know where the main shutoff is before the temperature drops.

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.
  • 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.
  • Clear snow from vents, gutters, and the areas around exterior equipment. Do not bury a gas meter, and keep the furnace exhaust and intake clear.
