Signs You May Need a Flood Control Sewer System
A flood control sewer system may be a good option if your basement has flooded before, if water enters through floor drains during heavy rain, or if your neighborhood has a history of sewer backup issues. These systems are designed to help reduce the risk of wastewater moving back into the home when the municipal sewer system is overwhelmed.
Jim Wagner Plumbing, Inc. helps Lombard-area homeowners understand whether a flood control sewer installation makes sense for their property. Our team provides honest recommendations so you can make a confident decision about protecting your home.
Frequent Basement Flooding
Repeated basement flooding can damage flooring, walls, stored belongings, appliances, and finished living areas. Even if the water goes away, moisture can leave behind odors, stains, and long-term repair concerns.
A properly installed flood control sewer system can help reduce the risk of water entering your basement through sewer-related backups.
Sewer Backup Concerns
Sewer backups can be stressful, messy, and expensive to clean up. If your home has experienced sewer water backing up through a drain or if nearby properties have had similar issues, it may be worth discussing flood control options with a professional plumber.
Jim Wagner Plumbing, Inc. can evaluate your plumbing setup and explain whether a flood control sewer system is appropriate for your home.
What is a Flood Control Sewer System?
Flood control sewer systems are a common plumbing component in Lombard homes. These systems use a one-way flapper valve that lets water out but not in. With an overflow point that is downstream from the sewer drain flapper valve, excess water can drain freely from your home, protecting your belongings and preventing flooding.
What are the Benefits of These Devices?
Many homeowners are opting to choose a flood control sewer system over other methods. Some of the benefits of these systems include:
Cost-Effective: They are less expensive than other options such as overhead sewer drain systems.
Annual Maintenance: Most flood control systems require annual maintenance, which means you can easily prevent unexpected repairs and ensure the unit is working efficiently each year.
Easily Accessible: Since the units require annual maintenance, they are installed with accessibility in mind. This means if you do require flood control sewer system repair, it will not be a hassle or pain to access the system.
One consideration to make when installing a pump-controlled flood control sewer system is also including a battery backup. If you lose power, you may run the risk of accidentally flooding your home.
Flood Control System Installation and Maintenance
Flood control sewer system installation should be handled by experienced plumbing professionals who understand how the system connects to the home’s sewer line and how it should be accessed for future maintenance. Proper installation helps the system perform as intended when excess water or sewer backup conditions occur.
Because these systems often require annual maintenance, Jim Wagner Plumbing, Inc. can help homeowners keep their flood control equipment accessible, inspected, and ready to protect the property.
