Round Lake Beach Businesses Rely on Us for Winter Water Damage Emergencies?

We keep commercial businesses in Lake County looking their best!

Our local Northwest Lake County team is a trusted leader in water damage mitigation and restoration services. Businesses in Round Lake Beach, Illinois, are susceptible to various types of water damage during the winter months due to the region's cold and snowy climate:

Frozen Pipes: Subfreezing temperatures can cause water pipes to freeze and, in some cases, burst. This can result in significant water damage when the pipes thaw and release water, potentially flooding the property.

Ice Dams: Accumulation of ice dams on roofs is a common issue in cold climates. As snow melts and refreezes near the roof's edge, it can block proper drainage, leading to water seeping under roof shingles and causing leaks inside the building.

Roof Leaks: Heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures can stress roofing materials, causing them to weaken or develop cracks. This can lead to roof leaks when snow and ice melt or when ice dams force water under roofing materials.

Foundation Cracks: Cold temperatures can cause the ground to freeze and expand, exerting pressure on a building's foundation. This can result in foundation cracks and water infiltration when the ground thaws.

Snowmelt Flooding: Rapid snowmelt or heavy rainfall can overwhelm drainage systems, leading to surface flooding around commercial properties.

Burst Sprinkler Systems: If businesses have sprinkler systems, these can be vulnerable to freezing during winter. A burst sprinkler pipe can release a substantial amount of water, causing extensive damage.
