Blue Island is a city in Cook County, Illinois, north-west of Hammond. This page does not describe the city's housing or its flood history, because none is cited for it. Calls from Blue Island are answered 24/7, and the first step is closing the source.

Blue Island is a city in Cook County, Illinois, north-west of Hammond. Its ZIP code is 60406, and it is about sixteen and a half kilometres from the anchor point for this list. It is part of the south suburban group that the line serves from the Indiana side, and the calls from it are answered in the same way.

No neighborhood survey or flood history is cited for Blue Island, so this page does not describe either one. A reader who wants that detail should ask the city for its own records. What the page does set out is the sequence of work, which applies to any house on the list and is the same here.

A call from Blue Island is answered on the 24/7 line. The questions come in order: the main, the power to the wet area, the source of the water, and how far it has gone.

    What does the sequence of work look like here?

    The first step is the water's source, and the second is the power. A supply line is closed at the main, a drain is left alone until the water is noted, and any panel in the water stays off. The photographs follow, then the removal of what cannot be dried.

    The drying is set from the readings, and the readings are taken at the same points on every check. The record shows each one, with its location and date.

    Which office answers the permit questions?

    The city's own offices handle permits and inspections, and the owner should ask before any work that opens a wall or changes a line begins. The record should note who was asked and what was said.

    A permit that is not sought when it is needed can cause problems with a claim or a sale, so it is worth asking early.

    What should the owner record?

    The time the water was first seen, the places it went, and the things that were removed are the three facts the record needs. The photographs and the readings are the evidence for each one.

    Keep the receipts for any work done by a plumber or an electrician, since the insurer may ask for them alongside the restoration file.

    How are the first readings taken in an older Blue Island house?

    The first readings are taken at the lowest point of the water, usually a floor drain, a basement corner or the base of a stair. Each reading is recorded with its location, and the same points are taken again at each check.

    Where the house has plaster or a masonry wall, the reading is taken at depth as well as on the surface. A surface reading alone can show dry while the wall behind it is still holding water, and the plan allows for that.

    What should be done about the outside of the house?

    Downspouts that empty against the foundation and a grade that slopes toward the wall add water to the ground that presses on the basement. Cleaning the gutters, extending the downspouts and regrading the soil away from the wall are the usual steps, and they are the owner's to arrange.

    The record notes the downspouts and the grade as they were found, so the owner has a note of the outside conditions at the time of the loss.

    FAQ

    Blue Island, Illinois FAQs

    Is Blue Island in Indiana?

    No. Blue Island is a city in Cook County, Illinois, north-west of Hammond.

    Does the line answer calls from Blue Island?

    Yes. Calls from the city are answered on the same 24/7 line as the Indiana communities.

    Who issues a permit in Blue Island?

    The city's own offices. Ask before any work that opens a wall or changes a line.

    What should I do if a drain backs up?

    Keep people out of the water, stop anything that drains to the line, photograph the water, and call.

    Can a Blue Island basement be dried while the family stays in the house?

    Often yes, provided the power to the wet area is safe and the drying equipment is kept out of the living space. The owner is told which rooms must be kept clear.

    Should I keep the furnace on while the basement dries?

    Only if the furnace and its controls have been checked and are dry. A furnace that stood in water should not be run until it has been looked at by the trade that owns it.
