Why Shorewood Basements Need a Careful Answer
Shorewood was incorporated in 1957 and has nearly tripled since 1990, growing from 6,264 people to 18,186 in 2020. A lot of those homes have basements and sump pits, and many sit close to the river.
- River influence: the DuPage River flows through town, and the USGS has mapped its flood areas from Plainfield to Shorewood. High water can raise the water table and push water into basements.
- Plumbing leaks look the same on the floor: a supply line leak and river seepage both leave a wet basement, but they need very different fixes.
- Larger lots: many homes have longer service lines and yard lines, which can leak out of sight.
DuPage River basement water in Shorewood is a waterproofing job. A pipe leak is a plumbing job. A meter test tells you which call to make.
