What Causes Basements to Flood?

A flooded basement is an unfortunate occurrence that can happen for many reasons, such as when the sump pump or sewer line breaks. Sometimes it happens due to heavy rainfall causing the city sewers to overflow. When city sewers are over capacity, excessive rainwater can accumulate in your basement.

Types of Flood Control Systems

We offer comprehensive flood control for home protection through various proven systems:

Check Valve: Prevents sewage from backing up through your basement drains during municipal system overloads.

Drainage Tile Systems: Professional installation redirects groundwater away from your foundation, preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup.

Battery Backup Systems: When power fails during storms, battery backup systems keep your flood control equipment operating when you need it most.

Overhead Sewer Flood Control System: For homes with basements below the main sewer line, these systems use pumps to move waste upward and out of your home.

Lift Station Pumping System: Advanced pumping solutions that handle multiple drainage points throughout your property.

How Flood Control Sewer Systems Work

Flood control sewer systems are designed to capture stormwater and temporarily store it before safely releasing it into nearby waterways. These systems consist of a network of underground pipes that transport stormwater from streets and surfaces to catch basins or inlets. These pipes are equipped with one-way valves that allow water to flow in a single direction. When the system reaches capacity, pressure forces the valves to open, releasing excess water safely and in a controlled manner.

The entire system is managed by monitoring stations that track rainfall levels. When heavy rainfall triggers an alert and increased runoff begins to flow into the catch basins, these stations automatically activate valves to relieve pressure within the pipes. This ongoing cycle helps manage the flow of stormwater and sewage, reducing the risk of backups and flooding.

FAQ's

What is the difference between a flood control system and just having a sump pump?

A sump pump is just one component of a comprehensive flood control system. While a sump pump removes water that’s already entered your basement, a complete flood control sewer system includes drainage tiles, check valves, battery backups, and proper waterproofing that work together to prevent water from entering in the first place. This multi-layered approach provides much better protection than relying on a sump pump alone.

We provide 24/7 emergency sewer backup service throughout Wheaton with typical response times of 1-2 hours for urgent situations. Sewer backups create serious health hazards and property damage risks, so we prioritize these calls and dispatch our emergency team immediately with specialized cleanup and sanitizing equipment.

Most standard homeowners insurance policies don’t cover flood damage or prevention systems, but many municipalities in the Wheaton area offer financial assistance for flood control installations. Some towns and villages will pay up to 50% of the installation cost. We recommend checking with your local municipality about available flood control incentive programs before starting your project.

Groundwater flooding typically appears as clear water seeping through foundation cracks or floor drains, while sewer backup involves contaminated water with sewage odors and debris. Groundwater issues usually occur during heavy rains or snowmelt, whereas sewer backups can happen when municipal systems become overwhelmed. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the source and recommend the appropriate flood control solution for your specific situation.

Installation time depends on the complexity of your system and your home’s specific needs. A basic check valve installation typically takes 4-6 hours, while comprehensive systems with drainage tiles, sump pumps, and battery backups may require 1-3 days. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during our initial assessment and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring proper installation of all flood control components.
