Waukegan Flood Control Installation

Reliable Flood Control & Flood Prevention Systems Installations in Waukegan IL


At Wendrick's Plumbing it is our highest priority to provide reliable flood control systems. Due to the volatile weather conditions  typically experienced throughout the Chicago area, natural disaster is quite common. Floods in your home can come from heavy rains, rapidly melting snow or even city sewer backups.  Having sewer water and debris entering your home can be extremely toxic and damaging to your home.

When a sewer fills up, it becomes pressurized and the water (along with the debris) often take the path of least resistance and come up through your drain pipes (toilets, showers baths, sinks and other drains in you property). Having a flood prevention system installed from Wendrick's Plumbing can help eliminate the chances of flooding in your property.

When you call Wendrick's Plumbing, our technicians will come out and inspect your property, the elevation and determine the best possible options to help prevent backup in your home, building or office.

Most Common Types of Flood Prevention Systems and Flood Controls in the Chicago Area

Overhead Sewer Conversion

Many in the industry believe Overhead Sewer Conversion to be the absolute best and most reliable way to protect your property from flooding due to sewer backup. An overhead sewer system uses a sewer pipe which is raised over the level of your basement floor. Overhead Sewer Conversion can stop city sewer water and debris from entering your basement.

Double Check Valve Flood Control System

The Double Check Valve Flood Control System is a quality flood prevention system commonly used in the Chicago area. This system is often chosen due to it's Double Check Valve System, which provides an extra layer of protection for your property. These systems are typically installed outside in the front yard of a home. These units provide protection from backflow from your city sewer pipes because the check valve closes from the pressure and stops the flow, directing it away from your home.
