Chicago Flood Control Help – The Spring Is Here!!!

Here in Chicago we dread our winters.  That’s why when the old man came and went with barely a whimper, we all let out a collective sigh of relief.  No snowmaggedon this year!!!

But, that doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods, weather-wise.  The strange winter could be a harbinger of more weird weather to come. That means the potential for many torrential downpours, thunderstorms, and flash floods.  And that’s not very good news for the aging municipal storm sewer systems all over Chicagoland.

In just the last two years, we’ve seen some of the worst flooding to ever hit Chicago.  Last year’s July storms hit homeowners harder and flooded more basements than most of us had ever experienced.  City sewers became filled to capacity and overflowed into people’s homes.  To prevent the same from happening this year, be proactive.

If you’ve experienced basement flooding in the past, and you’ve done nothing to address the underlying cause, then you can expect more of the same.  There are different reasons for basement flooding, but each one of them has a solution.  You can find more information here on our flood control page or on our sump pump page.

This year, make the right decision, and have your home inspected by a flood control specialist.  If you call The Scottish Plumber, the assessment is free, and we will present you with several options to help fit your needs and your budget.  You won’t regret it, and you’ll finally be able to stop building that ark.
