Ants in your North Shore home? Don’t ignore them—they could be pointing to hidden water damage.
From Wilmette and Winnetka to Glencoe, Kenilworth, and Lake Forest, many North Shore homes have basements, vintage plumbing, and complex HVAC systems. That means one thing: moisture problems are common, and ants know how to find them first.
Ants follow damp areas—behind walls, under cabinetry, around leaky pipes, or near foundation cracks. If you're seeing ant trails, there may already be slow leaks or excess humidity inside your home’s structure.
At ServiceMaster By Simons – North Shore, we specialize in uncovering the root cause of water damage before it leads to mold, rotted materials, or costly structural repairs. We serve historic homes, high-end lakefront properties, and everything in between.
✅ Here’s what to watch for:
Ants near kitchens, baths, or basement windows
Musty odors in certain rooms
Warped flooring, peeling paint, or rust stains
HVAC condensation or sump pump overflow
