Flooding.

No one in the Far Northwest Suburbs of Chicagoland wants to see their basement flood. The possible damage to the foundation of your Elgin area home is one thing. It is quite another to lose valuable items that you have saved for years. Tom’s Plumbing of Elgin can clean up the mess, but wants to offer some helpful hints to prevent it in the first place.

You might consider putting your major appliances onto blocks. Keep all of your gutters and downspouts clean. Are there any storm drains nearby? If there is any snow or ice up against your home...clear it away.  You could go so far as employing sandbags, inflatable floodwalls, and flood skirts.
