What causes water damage in Lincoln Park
Original plumbing in older homes
73% of Lincoln Park's housing predates 1960. Pipes that old narrow with rust, joints weaken and drain lines crack, so a small drip behind plaster or under a floor can go unnoticed until stains or soft spots appear.
Sewer and basement flooding
Heavy rain overwhelms sewers, sending water up basement floor drains.
Ice dams
Snow and cold create ice dams that push water into ceilings.
