Skokie and Neighboring Homeowners Need to Know about Flood Control

If your home has a basement, and you do not have a flood control system in place, you may have seen water buildup, water pushing up a floor drain, dampness or even water damage after a hard rain. The longer water sits in your basement, the greater the chances are for unhealthy and dangerous conditions. The damage can extend to your furnace, water heater, washer, dryer, electrical outlets, drywall, and baseboards. A typical insurance claim for a flooded basement is in excess of $10,000. Two claims with your insurance will usually get you dropped if the situation is not rectified immediately.

If you’re in the areas of Skokie, Morton Grove, Glenview, Niles, Wilmette, Park Ridge, or any surrounding neighborhoods call the professionals at North Coast Plumbing, Sewer and Drainage for fast and quality flood control service.

A Word About Flood Control Installation
