Protect Your Basement from Downpours

Protect Your Basement from Downpours - Image 1

Spring showers and summer thunderstorms have caused countless basement flooding. As a homeowner, you can take some preventative measures to direct water away from your foundations, such as cleaning out gutters and extending downspouts. When gutters clog with leaves and debris, rainwater spills over like a small waterfall next to the foundation. Extending downspouts further away from your foundation can help prevent water from pooling next to your basement walls and eventually making its way in. 

Clean gutters and longer downspouts, however, are no match for torrential rainfall and flash flooding. The best solution is to install an effective waterproofing system and powerful SumpPumps that can keep up with these downpours. Though SumpPumps can keep up, they also need maintenanced annually to keep them working properly. With their battery back-up, SumpPumps ensure that waterproofing systems continue to function despite and power outages or mechanical failures, keeping basements dry during even the wettest weather.
