Common Home Repair Problems in Chicago
In Chicago, freeze-thaw winters often split basement foundation walls and burst older galvanized or copper pipes, while heavy spring rains can send water through brick basements and around window wells. Expansive clay soil and flat lots contribute to settling, cracked sidewalks, and sticking doors, and lake-effect snow, ice dams, and wind can tear up roofs, gutters, and tuckpointing on older brick two-flats and bungalows.
