Preventing Basement Flooding

Have you ever experienced a flooded basement? There are two main reasons this might happen:

  1. Cracked floor or foundation
  2. Risk of flooding from city sewer lines

At O’Hare Plumbing, Inc., we offer effective solutions to address these issues. For cracks, we use Epoxy or Polyurethane Injection, depending on the extent of the damage. Additionally, we can install a drain tile system with a sump pump to keep your basement dry and clean. Contact us to find the right solution for your needs and protect your home from flooding.

Protection Against Basement Flooding

Sump Pump Installation and Maintenance

Sump pumps are crucial for preventing basement flooding. We install and maintain sump pumps to ensure they function properly during heavy rains and power outages

Our team specializes in installing and maintaining high-quality sump pumps designed to keep your home dry and prevent water damage. Whether you’re building a new home or renovating an existing one, our sump pump systems effectively manage excess water, reducing the risk of mold and structural damage. By choosing O’Hare Plumbing, Inc., you benefit from professional installation, reliable performance, and expert advice tailored to your home’s needs.

Battery Backup System Installation

A reliable sump pump system is crucial for protecting your basement from flooding, but what happens if the power goes out during a storm? That’s where battery backup systems come in. O’Hare Plumbing, Inc. offers comprehensive battery backup systems for sump pumps to ensure your home remains dry and safe, even during power outages.

Cracked Foundation and Basement Flooding Services

Foundation Repair and Waterproofing

Cracks in your house foundation can lead to severe issues, especially during heavy rains. When rainwater seeps through these cracks, it can flood your basement, causing damage to your home and belongings. At O’Hare Plumbing, Inc., we specialize in comprehensive foundation repair and waterproofing services to protect your home. Our experts can identify and repair cracks in your foundation using high-quality materials and advanced techniques. We also offer waterproofing solutions to seal your foundation and prevent water infiltration, safeguarding your basement from future flooding.

Basement Flooding Prevention

Rainwater can easily find its way into your basement through poor drainage, clogged gutters, and foundation cracks. Our team at O’Hare Plumbing, Inc. provides a range of services to address and prevent basement flooding. We install effective drainage systems, including French drains and sump pumps, to divert water away from your foundation. Regular maintenance of gutters and downspouts is also essential to ensure water flows away from your home. By improving landscape grading and sealing foundation cracks, we help keep your basement dry and free from mold and mildew, which can pose health risks

By addressing these issues promptly and with professional expertise, O’Hare Plumbing, Inc. ensures your home remains safe, dry, and structurally sound. Regular inspections and maintenance are key to preventing long-term damage and costly repairs.

Interior Drain Systems

For added protection, we install interior drain systems that intercept water before it enters your basement, directing it to a sump pump for removal. Interior drain systems, also known as French drains or perimeter drains, are installed along the inside perimeter of your basement. These drains collect water that seeps through the foundation walls or floor and channel it to a sump pump, which then pumps the water out and away from your home. This prevents water from accumulating in your basement and causing damage.

Prevent Flooding and Protect Your Home’s Foundation

Yard Drainage Solutions

If you experience standing water in your backyard when it rains, it can lead to soil erosion, mosquito breeding, and further foundation problems. O’Hare Plumbing, Inc. offers professional yard drainage solutions to tackle this issue. We design and install effective drainage systems, such as French drains, catch basins, and dry wells, to manage and redirect excess water away from your property. Proper yard drainage not only prevents water from pooling in your backyard but also protects your foundation from water damage and helps maintain a healthy lawn and landscape​.

I'm more of a DIY guy and needed some help with a stubborn water heater. He helped me find the part I needed, his contact was too expensive (he told me that I didn't tell him) for the parts and helped me find what I needed. I offered to pay but no charge. I will 100% use them again when I need a plumber.

Tom and Peter provide very good service. They were here very quickly and started right away. My basement was flooding from a broken pipe and they did excellent work in repairing it. They had to move the laundry machines and sink, but cleaned and put everything back in place. Very respectful to the building itself. Would highly recommend!

Tom was late to the appointment, although he did keep me notified as to when he was coming. I was about to cancel and I am glad I didn’t. Thought this was a simple job but it was not. He had tried two different remedies, none of which worked. He let me know the contractor that did my kitchen installed the pipes incorrectly and he couldn’t get to the clog with traditional methods. He finally used a tool that removed the clog. He worked upstairs and down, being very thorough. Also cleaned up and was reasonable with the charge. Also he was honest about something else I thought I needed done, he said probably not. Would definitely recommend.

I have not been this happy in a long time. The last few plumbers I have hired left me so disappointed that I was beginning to think it was a bad industry. (Overcharging, poor service, incomplete work, bad work, lousy attitude, leaving work area dirty, causing damage, etc.). But, today I needed to call a plumber again, so . . . off to Google to search for one in my area. I decided to call Blue Line because they were close and had decent reviews. So, I was hopeful. Best phone call I could have made! First of all, someone actually answered the phone when I called (bonus points!). Then, he was able to come out same day (Double bonus points!). But the real five star service was in Tom's professional and efficient service which was delivered with a pleasant and courteous demeanor. He fixed my toilet and my sink (which were the two reasons I needed him to come out), and then he checked my tub while he was there (which benefited from his tender loving care). He took his time to make sure everything was running correctly before leaving and he did everything for a fair price. (He even put everything back under the sink!) I'm just amazed across the board. Truly, this is a five star service in an industry that seems to be seriously lacking. I plan on telling all of my family and friends in the neighborhood. Thank you, Tom!!

Had an issue with my sump pump discharge flowing back into the basin. I had another plumbing company quote me almost $4,000 to replace the entire basin, the pump, and all related drain lines. I got a second quote from O'Hare Plumbing. Within 15 minutes he told me the problem was that the line going out from my basin was clogged, and that was causing the issue. It was fixed the very next day at less than 10% of the cost of that previous quote. The guys at O'Hare Plumbing were honest, informative and very nice to work with. Highly recommend.
