In Chicago, a homeowner wanted to protect their basement from sewer backup. During heavy rain, Chicago’s sewer system can become overwhelmed, allowing sewage and wastewater to flow back into homes through the main sewer line. A backup can cause significant damage, especially when it reaches a finished or frequently used basement.
Our Perma-Seal team installed a sewer backup prevention system designed to help protect the home when conditions in the municipal sewer system cause wastewater to reverse direction. The system provides an important line of defense by preventing sewage from flowing back through the home’s sewer connection and into the basement.
With the new system installed, the homeowner has added protection against one of the most damaging types of basement flooding. The sewer backup prevention system will help safeguard the basement, belongings, and other areas of the home when Chicago’s sewer system is under heavy demand.
