What Makes Mattoon and Charleston, Illinois Different
Mattoon and Charleston sit about ten miles apart on flat, rich farmland in east central Illinois. The ground is heavy and drains slowly, so water can pool around foundations after a long rain. Basements and crawlspaces take water when the soil stays soaked, even far from any river. Clean gutters, long downspouts and a sump pump with a battery backup keep most basements dry.
Charleston is home to Eastern Illinois University, and many older houses nearby have been turned into rentals. Old plumbing, window air conditioners that drip into walls, and bathrooms without fans are common sources of hidden mold. Renters should report a leak or a musty smell to the landlord the same day, in writing.
Open prairie lets storms build quickly, and spring and summer bring hail, straight line wind and tornado warnings. Winters bring hard freezes and some ice storms. Keep the heat on when you travel, open sink cabinets on outside walls on the coldest nights, and know where your main water shutoff is before you need it.
