KEEP YOUR BASEMENT

THE BACKPRESSURE
Climate change and its consequences are felt every day. Increasing incidents of heavy rain in all parts endanger possessions and building substance below the backpressure level. Especially basement flats and wellness oases, fitness rooms and offices in the basement are threatened by flooding.
But how does backpressure occur?
The public sewer system is dimensioned for medium rainwater volumes. During heavier rainfall events, the sewers fill up and a backwater occurs. This can rise to street level, the so-called backpressure level. If, during a heavy rainfall, more water flows into the sewage system than it can "swallow", a backpressure occurs.
In this case, the water from the main sewer below the street returns to the house through the house connection pipe. All rooms below the backpressure level are flooded by escaping water from toilets, sinks or drains in case there is no corresponding backwater protection.
Your insurance against backpressureis called Jung Pumpen.
THE RIGHT BACKPRESSURE PROTECTION
After the flood, is before the flood!
Prevention is everything. The most effective and safest protection is provided by suitable backwater valves and lifting stations. If these are installed and regularly maintained by qualified personnel, every homeowner saves a lot of trouble and money.
SIX CAUSES FOR BACKPRESSURE:
-
Extreme rainfall at mixed
sewer system
-
Blockage, pipe bursts,
sewer damages
-
Pump failure of a connected
pump station
-
High water in the receiving waters (river or creek), if the rainwater drain is affected
-
Repairs in sewer (barriers, diversions)
-
Heavy waste water flow into the sewer (e.g. caused by fire brigade operations, sewer flushing etc.)
The correct protection against backpressure will guarantee a carefree use of the drainage facilities and a long-term maintenance of value of the furnishings in the basement.
