Getting to Know Des Plaines
Named for the river that curls through its east side, Des Plaines has been a crossroads since the 1800s, when the Chicago and North Western Railway arrived. The city is home to the site where Ray Kroc opened his first McDonald's franchise in 1955; a replica museum stood there for years before being removed. Downtown Des Plaines, near the Metra Union Pacific Northwest station, has been reshaped with new condo towers and the restored Des Plaines Theatre. The city also has a Metra North Central Service stop and borders O'Hare International Airport. Lake Opeka, the Des Plaines River Trail and Oakton College provide recreation and learning, while Rand Road, Miner Street and Lee Street carry most traffic.

Housing in Des Plaines
Des Plaines offers a wide variety of homes: 1920s bungalows and frame houses near downtown, post-World War II Cape Cods and brick ranches in large neighborhoods, 1960s split-levels and raised ranches, and many condo and apartment buildings. Much of the housing stock is modest in size, with basement laundry common in older homes and compact kitchens with standard appliances. Newer downtown condos have in-unit stacked or side-by-side laundry. In Cape Cods, upstairs bedrooms are often tucked under the roofline, so the basement stays the utility hub.
Why Appliances Need Service in Des Plaines
Des Plaines buys Lake Michigan water from the City of Chicago, so hardness is moderate. The Des Plaines River has a history of flooding, and low-lying neighborhoods have experienced basement water that can damage washers, dryers and freezers. The city's many older homes also have aging gas lines, older electrical circuits and basement drains that affect how appliances perform. Rain-driven backups are the most common culprit.
If you live near the Des Plaines River, keep basement appliances raised on blocks or pads when possible and know your flood history. If an appliance has been in floodwater, leave it unplugged and tell the technician, since water-damaged controls and motors need inspection before use.
