Common Water Damage Problems

Water damage can affect homes in Rochelle and the surrounding countryside in several ways:

  • Plumbing and water heater leaks: Water can spread through floors and walls.
  • Sump pump failures and basement seepage: Heavy rain or groundwater can lead to standing water.
  • Well pump or pressure tank failures: Leaks may continue until someone discovers the problem.
  • Sewer or septic backups: Contaminated water requires appropriate safety precautions and cleanup.
  • Frozen pipes: Cold weather can cause pipes to burst in older homes and additions.
  • Poor drainage: Water collecting near a foundation can contribute to basement moisture.

Is a septic backup covered by insurance?

My well pump ran all night and flooded the basement. What should I do?

If it is safe, stop the water source and avoid electrical hazards around standing water. Take photos when safe to do so, then contact a restoration professional. The appropriate cleanup depends on the water source and affected materials.
