Few home disasters are worse than sewage backing up into your basement or flooding from pump failures. At Dye Plumbing & Heating, we provide comprehensive basement backup protection throughout La Porte, IN and Northwest Indiana—multiple layers of defense against the water damage that causes costly repairs and health hazards.
With 86+ years of experience, we understand the particular challenges our region presents: high water tables, heavy seasonal rains, and aging sewer infrastructure. We design protection systems that address all these threats.
Your basement faces water threats from multiple directions: sewer backups when municipal systems are overwhelmed, groundwater intrusion from high water tables, surface water from heavy rains and poor drainage, pump failures during critical times, and power outages when pumps can't run.
During heavy rains, municipal sewer systems can become overwhelmed. When capacity is exceeded, sewage flows backward through floor drains and fixtures into basements. This introduces not just water but contaminated waste requiring professional cleanup.

The most reliable protection combines multiple systems working together to defend against all types of water intrusion.
Stop sewer backups before they enter your home with a properly installed backwater valve.
Quality primary pump sized for your water volume handles normal groundwater management.
Secondary battery-powered pump operates when power fails, continuing protection during storms.
Monitoring alerts you to problems before significant damage occurs, allowing intervention.
Proper grading, gutters, and drainage direct water away from your foundation.
Each layer provides specific protection, and together they create comprehensive defense against all types of basement water intrusion.
Our regional conditions make basement protection particularly important. We understand the specific challenges our area presents and design systems accordingly.
