Overhead Sewer Systems in Harwood Heights

An overhead sewer system is the most effective flood control solution available for Harwood Heights homes in areas prone to sewer backup during heavy rain. J. Blanton Plumbing installs overhead sewer systems throughout Harwood Heights with the licensing and experience this complex project demands.

In a conventional plumbing system, your basement drains and fixtures connect directly to the city sewer. When the city sewer surcharges during heavy rain, sewage has a direct path back into your basement. An overhead sewer system reroutes your basement plumbing above the city sewer level, eliminating that path entirely.

Once installed, overhead sewer systems virtually eliminate the risk of sewer backup flooding — not just reduce it, but eliminate it. Basement fixtures are connected to a collection pit, and an ejector pump moves waste up to the overhead pipe and into the sewer system above the surcharge level.

J. Blanton Plumbing has installed overhead sewer systems in Harwood Heights and throughout Chicagoland for over 30 years. We assess your home's existing plumbing layout, design the overhead system, and manage the complete installation — including permits and inspections.

If your Harwood Heights home has experienced repeated basement flooding from sewer backup, an overhead sewer system is the permanent solution — not another patch.
