The heart and soul of every waterproofing system is the sump pump. Basically, a sump pump is an appliance that pumps water out away from your home, thereby preventing water build-up and floods.
While a home’s sump pump should ideally be checked everyday, we all know that’s not possible. Instead, try to check if it’s working as it should before any major storm. At the minimum, your sump pump should be check thoroughly at least once a year.
In Will and Kendall counties in Illinois, there's a city that's been dubbed as the fastest growing in the Chicago metropolitan area. Joliet, the fourth most populated city in Illinois, is a Des Plaines River town and expands up to the DuPage River.
With its proximity along rivers, and its annual precipitation of nearly 37 inches a year, most Joliet residents need a sump pump to control flood levels in their basements or crawl spaces.
Part of the Golden Corridor, Schaumburg is a village located in Cook County, Illinois. Home to the Motorola Solutions headquarters and the 11th largest mall in the US, Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg has grown to become a suburban metropolis from humble rural beginnings.
Given its location though, Schaumburg is prone to extreme weather changes, with hot summers and cold winter, and scattered thunderstorms during spring and summer. These changes can cause many moisture problems, including basement flooding.
Highland Park is a suburban municipality in Lake County, Illinois located on the North Shore of the Chicago metropolitan area. Elevations range from 580 to 725 feet above sea level and despite its lofty height above sea level, residents still ask if the need for a backup sump pump is necessary.
The short answer is yes. The long answer though, it's because basements and crawl spaces are prone to flooding and other moisture problems and not just because the land is below or above sea level. Many factors can cause moisture problems such as the weather, cracks in the walls, melting snow, damaged or clogged rain gutters, and even pressure from the water table pushing water up through the floor.
Elmhurst is a city in DuPage and Cook counties in Illinois, with a population of 44,121. Home to famed Elmhurst College and is the site of the Keebler Company's corporate headquarters, Elmhurst has a lot to be proud of. However, with all the wonderful things that keep Elmhurst residents busy everyday, it should be asked: when was the last time you had your sump pump checked? Will it be ready for the next big rain? When it rains, basements and crawl spaces are usually inundated with water and moisture. A flooded basement or crawl space can cause numerous problems in a home, such as deterioration of the foundation, mold and fungi growth, and the moisture can cause a musty smell that wafts throughout the house.
One of the main tools to help prevent this flooding is the sump pump. By pumping water from the basement to a safe place outside, basements and crawl spaces don't need to be moist or flooded every time it rains - but is your pump working like it should?

With all of the recent storms, rain and flooding that we’ve had recently in the Chicago area, we’ve had a lot of people contact us about their basement. Many called as they saw their basements filling up with water. No one really plans on waiting until their basement is flooded to take action, but it often happens that way. Most people don’t think of their basement flooding, until they are knee-deep in water. Removing water from your basement and cleaning up a big mess can cost a lot of money and be a big headache. You don’t have to spend thousands on a complete basement waterproofing system to make sure that you’re not caught in a bad situation.
On July 16, 2010, Lou Manfredini featured one of Perma-Seal's (Chicago) products on NBC's Today Show (Today's Home). He says that it is a must have when the power goes out, and we couldn't agree more. Ordinary sump pumps fail when a storm causes your home's electrical system to fail. You need a battery backup to back you up. No one wants a flooded basement - make sure that you have a sump pump that will work under any condition.
