3 WHY IS WATER FLOODING MY BASEMENT? Could be a single cause or combination: Water coming up through basement floor drains/toilet Water coming into house through ground level windows or doors Sump pump failed to operate or was hydraulically overwhelmed Water coming in through a foundation wall crack or at the foundation wall and floor joint

4 SANITARY vs. STORM WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? Sanitary Sewer Closed system Receives wastewater directly from homes/businesses Sinks / Dishwashers / Showers / Bathrooms Directs wastewater to the City wastewater treatment facility Storm Sewer Open system Collects stormwater from the ground surface Rain / Snow melt / Excess lawn watering Directs collected water to nearest ditch, creek or river

5 SANITARY vs. STORM WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? Image modified from

6 CITY SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM Approximately 100,000-LF of public sewer (6 to 24 inches) Additional ~100,000-LF of private service (typically 4 to 6 inches)

7 CITY STORM SEWER SYSTEM Approximately 65,000-LF of public sewer (12 to 48 inches)

8 WHY IS WATER FLOODING MY BASEMENT? Sanitary Infrastructure Issues: Surcharging in sanitary sewer due to one or more of the following: Excessive inflow and infiltration Roots or blockages in sanitary sewer main Sanitary Property Issues: Improper connections (ie foundation drain into service lateral) Roots or blockages in sanitary service lateral

9 WHY IS WATER FLOODING MY BASEMENT? Stormwater Infrastructure Issues: Street or property flooding due to one or more of the following: Extreme precipitation event Inadequate number of curb inlets or sewer size Plugged curb inlets Roots or blockages in storm sewer main Stormwater Property Issues: Cracks in foundation wall or foundation wall/floor joint Sump pump failed or hydraulically overwhelmed
