Another type of flood control system is called an lift station. It can be used for both residential and commercial applications.In a lift station, a pump basin collects all the waste water from the house or building regardless of whether it rains. A pump positioned in the basin discharges the water into the gravity sewer line toward the municipal sewer main. The disadvantage of the system is that you have to rely on the pump all the time (twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year), and if the pump fails for any reason the home may get flooded.
If the system is used in the right situation, it can be a very good form of flood control protection. Each system is used and recommended based on your individual situation and circumstances. Our flood control experts can help you determine which option is best for you.
