Common Causes of Flooding in Chicago

Chicago’s unique landscape and infrastructure contribute to frequent flooding:

Frozen & Burst Pipes: Chicago’s harsh winters frequently bring subzero temperatures that can freeze plumbing lines. As water freezes, it expands and places extreme pressure on pipes, often causing them to crack or burst. When temperatures rise, these pipes can release hundreds of gallons of water into walls, ceilings, and floors — leading to sudden indoor flooding that requires immediate professional cleanup.
Heavy Rainfall: Intense storms can overwhelm the city’s aging sewer systems.
Urban Flooding: Impermeable surfaces prevent water absorption, leading to street and basement flooding.
Sewer Backups: Overloaded sewers can cause water to back up into homes.
Melting Snow & Ice: Spring thaws can saturate the ground, leading to flooding.
