Calumet City homes face unique challenges that increase leak risks. Many properties were built in the 1950s-70s with plumbing systems that are now reaching the end of their expected lifespan. The area’s clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, putting stress on underground pipes.
Chicago’s harsh winters cause repeated freeze-thaw cycles that stress plumbing systems over time. Older homes may have inadequate insulation around pipes, making them more susceptible to freezing and cracking during cold snaps.
Additionally, the region’s aging water infrastructure means higher water pressure fluctuations that can stress home plumbing systems. These factors combine to create more leak issues than in areas with newer construction or more stable soil conditions. Regular inspections help catch problems before they become major issues.
