What Makes Ottawa and Streator, Illinois Different
Ottawa sits where the Fox River flows into the Illinois River, and Streator lies to the south along the Vermilion River. When spring rain falls on frozen or soaked ground, all three rivers can rise and push water into low streets and basements. Floodwater from a river is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
Most homes here have basements, and many older ones have stone or block walls that let water seep in during a wet spring. A working sump pump with a battery backup and a backwater valve on the sewer line protect a finished basement. Keep downspouts extended and the soil sloped away from the house so water does not collect against the foundation.
Winters are cold, and pipes in outside walls, crawlspaces and garages can freeze and split. Spring and summer bring strong storms, and tornadoes have struck towns in the Illinois River valley. After a storm, tarp any roof opening once it is safe and photograph the damage before cleanup starts.
