Downers Grove Plumber Tip #27: Winter Flood Prevention
The Downers Grove plumbers and Downers Grove plumbing contractors at the Scottish Plumber are devoted to helping you improve your winter flood prevention efforts. Winter flooding may seem uncommon, but consider how much snowfall we get each winter in this part of the country. On warmer days, this fallen snow can melt and produce a great deal of runoff, and that is where winter flood prevention becomes important. Runoff water can enter your basement just as easily as rainfall during the winter, so on warmer days you want o make sure that you already have in place those basement flooding prevention systems that will keep the foundation of your home safe and dry.
Having a working sump pump is one way to ensure that your basement will at least have a means of ameliorating a basement flooding situation. Same with a battery back up sump pump. The battery back up sump pump is what provides power to your sump pump in case of a power outage or power surge. Having these sump pump systems in place with routine sump pump maintenance (or sump pump installation if your basement does not have one) will reduce the risk of basement flooding damaging your home.
