Flood Control Systems

Eliminate Flooding and Sewer Backups

Installing a flood control system can be a real lifesaver by preventing the city sewer from backing up into your home and or business. Chicagoland Waterproofing can install a flood control system to prevent the city sewer from backing up and flooding your basement. Most systems are installed outside in the front yard.

Our technicians will install a basin and lid for future access. Inside this basin, a pump and two check valves will work to ensure that the flow of your sewer line is directed away from your home. During heavy rain, when the pressure from the city sewer pushed sewage and water back toward your home, the check valves close stopping the flow.

Save Your Possessions and Your Building

The worst floods occur when torrential rainfall strikes, filling the streets with water to over-capacity and causing flooding problems from sewer backups. Flood damage can wreak havoc on your building and personal property, destroying irreplaceable possessions.

The purpose of the pump in a flood control system is so when the valves stop the water from coming into the house (nothing in/nothing out) the overflow that drains into the pit catches all the water and sewage that is coming out from the house and pumps it past the second check valve so you can still use any plumbing during the storm (laundry, bathroom and kitchen).
