Chicago at a glance
Flood zone area. Basement flooding is the primary concern here.
Chicago's combined sewer system means intense storms can back up into basements independent of river or lake flooding, and Lake Michigan's proximity keeps humidity elevated even on days without rain.
The city's classic brick two-flats and greystones, many built before 1940, rely on aging combined sewer connections that back up into basements during intense storms, a different failure mode than the surface flooding more common in newer suburbs.
A record-setting September storm dumped over 6 inches of rain in hours, overwhelming the combined sewer system and flooding thousands of basements across the city.
