Milan sits where the Rock River meets the bottom of the metro, and eight in ten homes here predate 1980. Low ground and old housing is a combination that puts drainage at the center of most conversations.
Where the Water Goes Matters More Here
On low ground, a downspout that dumps at the foundation is a much bigger problem than it is on a hill. Gutter sizing, downspout count and where the extensions end are worth real attention in Milan.
It is the cheapest part of a roofing job and it is the part that protects the most expensive part of the house.
What We Get Called For in Milan
- Gutter and drainage work on low lying property
- Older housing reaching a third roof
- Storm damage along the Rock River
