Basement flooding from heavy rains
Why it happens here
Downtown Winnetka receives significant rainfall, especially in winter and spring. The soil can become saturated, and older foundations may have cracks that allow water to seep in. Poor drainage systems can also contribute.
Our approach
We use powerful pumps to remove water quickly. We then dry the basement and repair any cracks. We also recommend installing a sump pump and backwater valve to prevent future flooding.
