As you leave the Western Suburbs and head closer to Chicago, space becomes more of a premium. Yards get smaller, buildings are closer together and dealing with storm water creates new challenges. Unwanted water, especially near your foundation can create tremendous damage. Not only from water intrusion, but also from frost damage as the expansive soil next to your home freezes and expands, putting pressure on your foundation walls. In Chicago and nearby suburbs it’s not uncommon to find below grade storm systems and sump pumps installed in yards to direct rain water safely away from the home.
