Ixonia is a northern Jefferson County town of 5,120 people, and much of its housing is recent, with newer basements and sump systems next to older farm properties. When water reaches a basement, shut off power only if the panel is dry, stay out of standing water near outlets, and call (833) 490-5225.
Ixonia is a town in northern Jefferson County with 5,120 residents at the 2020 census. The census-designated place inside the town had 2,367 people, up from 1,624 in 2010, so a large share of the housing here is recent and the town is still growing.
Pipersville is another community within the town. The newer houses have basements and sump systems of their own, and they sit alongside older farm properties where the water problems look different, so a crew sorts each property by its age and its ground before it decides on a plan.
Hard freezes from December to February, the March and April snowmelt on frozen ground, summer thunderstorms that lift the Rock, Crawfish and Bark rivers, and humid late summers decide which water problems are most likely around Sullivan from week to week.
When a town's population grows as quickly as this one has, much of the housing is only a few years old and the basement systems are still new. The most likely failures on those houses are the sump pump, its discharge line and the drain tile, and a crew checks each of them before it opens a wall.
New construction is not the same as dry construction. A newer basement can take in water through a window well or a grade that drains toward the house, and the crew traces the path rather than assuming the age of the house tells the story.
The older farm properties in the town sit on different ground and have different foundations. A farmhouse addition can have a crawl space or a basement added at a different time from the main house, so the water can enter at a seam that a newer house does not have.
On these properties a crew asks where the water was first seen and when the last rain fell, then works out whether the water is still moving. Moisture readings on the framing decide how far the drying has to go.
The sump systems in the newer houses are the most likely point of failure in a storm.
Basements in the newer subdivisions are dried once the source is confirmed.
Older farm additions with crawl spaces take in water at the seams and need pumping first.
Finding the path of the water, not just the wet spot, is the first job on a farm property.
A crew is dispatched as fast as one is available, and you approve the estimate before any work starts.
