What Makes Kankakee, Illinois Different
Kankakee sits on the Kankakee River about an hour south of Chicago, on flat farm land. The river rises after heavy rain and snowmelt, and in cold winters ice can jam in the channel and push water into low neighborhoods. Homes near the river and the Iroquois River, which joins it at Aroma Park, take water first.
Most homes have basements, and the flat ground drains slowly. Summer storms can drop inches of rain in a few hours, and storm sewers back up through floor drains. A sump pump that fails during a power outage is how many basements flood here, so a battery backup is worth it. Ask your agent about a sewer and drain backup endorsement, since standard coverage often leaves it out.
Winters are cold and windy across the open fields, and pipes on outside walls and in crawlspaces freeze and split. Shut off the main water valve the moment you find a burst pipe. Humid summers mean a wet basement can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, so start drying the same day.
