An overhead sewer system can help prevent basement flooding during heavy rainfall or sewer backups by raising the level of the sewer pipes above the basement floor. This prevents sewage from backing up into the basement, as gravity allows the sewage to flow out of the basement through the elevated pipes.

As a licensed plumber, you can determine if your flood control system is functioning properly by conducting regular inspections and maintenance. Check for any signs of leaks, blockages, or malfunctions in the system components such as sump pumps, check valves, and backflow preventers. Test the system by simulating a flood event to ensure it activates and redirects water away from your property effectively. If you notice any issues or concerns, it is important to address them promptly to prevent potential flooding risks.
