How To Prevent Flooding in your Basement!

| Flooded Basement in Chicago! |
Most homeowners in the Chicago and Chicago-land suburbs experience flooded basements during major storms aka (Flash Floods). These types of floods are expensive to clean up and can cause lots of damage to your home. To prevent such flooding issues, Reliance Plumbing installs flood control systems or converts gravity sewers to overhead sewer systems. The advantages of an overhead sewer system is that, it dose not rely on electricity to prevent flooding. A big advantage of this system is that during major storms lots of homes lose power that cause there sump pumps not to eject water out of the home. Not all homes can be converted to overhead sewer system due to shallow sewer mains that is a requirement for installation. Another great option to prevent flooding would be a Dual Check Valve Flood Control system. This system prevents the city water from "backing up" into your home when the city mains are overwhelmed with water. Flash floods are a sudden rain fall in small amount of time; that cause the city sewer lines problems because it can not keep up with the volume of water that cause it to "back up" into the lowest points which is usually an unprotected basement drain.
