Residential Flood Control Systems
Residential Flood Control Systems for Long-Term Home Protection
Flooding in your home isn’t just an inconvenience — it can destroy your belongings, weaken your foundation, lead to mold growth, and cause long-term structural damage. At Ace Plumbing & Sewer, we install residential flood control systems designed to keep your home dry, safe, and protected from water intrusion. With decades of experience serving Chicago’s western suburbs, we understand the local village codes, storm patterns, and underground infrastructure challenges homeowners face.
Whether you’re dealing with a basement that leaks after every storm or you’ve experienced a full-blown sewer backup, our team has the tools, training, and experience to prevent it from happening again.
Keep water out of your lower levels with powerful sump systems built for high-volume commercial use. We install, repair, and maintain pumps that perform when it matters most.
Protect basements and utility areas from sewage backups with properly sized ejector pumps. Ideal for properties with below-grade plumbing fixtures.
Prevent costly sewer backflow and maintain compliance with local plumbing codes. Backwater valves block reverse flow and are essential for flood-prone systems.
Custom Flood Control Systems for Every Property
No two properties are the same, which means your flood protection shouldn’t be either. Our team evaluates the slope of your yard, the structure of your foundation, village flood codes, and the condition of your sewer lines and sump systems. We then create a flood control plan designed to keep your home safe in any weather. Popular residential flood protection solutions include:
Overhead sewer conversions
Backwater valves
Drain tile systems
Battery-backed sump pumps
Stormwater ejector pits
Yard grading and drainage improvements
Whether you live in an older home prone to seepage or a newer property with drainage challenges, we’ll customize a system that fits your layout, your budget, and your peace of mind.
Design, Permits, Installation, and Ongoing Maintenance
Ace Plumbing & Sewer takes care of everything — from system design and permit pulling to installation and long-term support. After assessing your property, we provide a detailed scope of work and handle village permitting to ensure everything meets local code. Our fully licensed and insured technicians perform the installation with care, protecting your home, landscaping, and existing systems throughout the process.
We also offer annual maintenance plans to keep your flood control system performing at its best. From cleaning and testing sump pumps to inspecting drain tile and checking battery backups, we help homeowners avoid costly surprises when it rains.
Local flood control requirements and code compliance guidelines can vary. For detailed information, visit the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD).
Call Ace Plumbing & Sewer to Safeguard Your Home
Don’t wait for water damage to show up in your basement. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your sump pump, install a complete overhead sewer system, or protect against rising stormwater, Ace Plumbing & Sewer is here to help. We combine time-tested expertise with the latest technology to provide residential flood control systems that work — before, during, and after the storm.
Smart Backups and Emergency Alert Systems
Many homeowners discover their sump pump has failed only after a flood has occurred. To prevent this, we recommend modern battery backup systems and smart water level monitors that notify you of rising water or power outages in real time. These advanced systems offer added protection during storms, blackouts, or heavy rainfall — when your home needs it most.
Already have an older system in place? We can inspect and upgrade your existing flood prevention setup to ensure it meets today’s standards and your household’s needs.
