The City of Joliet says " we try not to take responsibility for flooding in basements" This sanitary system the City of Joliet forced everyone to hook up to is the Cities responsibility.The flooding that happens is their responsibility too. If you basement floods with sanitary water there is a check list to go through to see if it was the neglect of the city that caused the flooding. Contact the City of Joliet and have them come out and pop the manhole lids.These sanitary lids are supposed the have sealed rubbers on the bottom of the lids causing a seal when lid is properly placed.Check to make sure lid is not moving while placed in proper position. Next the City of Joliet has a camera that can fish down the sanitary line and see if the lines are leaking. if they are the city is responsible for the fixing of the leaks.Manhole lids and leaking pipes are one of the main causes for flooding in people's houses.Rain water can seep around the lids.Broken sanitary lines are even more of a cause.The lines are deep,the pressure of water is greater and will flow even when no rain is present. Also make sure when the city pops the lids to check for seals you look into the manhole and see if the manhole its self is leaking.If it is make them fix it. Lids,pipe,manholes are all the responsibility.If any of these are neglected they need to be fixed because they will cause flooding to your home.After all the Citizens of Joliet were forced to hook up to the system due to the ground becoming contaminated by our septic tanks.Having a city system leaking is no different.Protect your self and make the city check their system before you flood out again.If you have already had a problem then you need to act now before it happens again and your stuck using your house insurance causing your premium to go up due to the lack of responsibility of the City of Joliet.
