What Makes Mount Vernon, Illinois Different
Mount Vernon sits at the crossing of two interstates in the farm and oil country of southern Illinois. The land is flat and the soil is heavy clay that drains slowly, so water can pool against a foundation for days after a hard rain. Keep downspouts extended at least 6 feet from the house and make sure the ground slopes away, because most basement leaks here start with runoff.
Southern Illinois sees strong storms from spring into summer, with tornadoes, hail and long lines of straight line wind. When a tree or limb breaks through the roof, cover the opening once it is safe and pull wet insulation out of the attic so it does not hold water against the ceiling. Photograph everything before you clean up. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.
Summers are hot and humid, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Winters are milder than in northern Illinois, but cold snaps still freeze pipes in crawlspaces, garages and outside walls. Leave faucets dripping on the coldest nights and open cabinet doors under sinks.

Illinois has no statewide license for general contractors, although roofers need a state license.

Ask any company for proof of liability insurance and whether its technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation.
