How Waterproofing Your House Helps You Relax During the Holidays
Cleaning your gutters before snow hits is an important part of keeping your home waterproofed.
A good way to prepare your home for winter is by waterproofing it. Northeast winter weather brings many snow storms our way. Melting snow creates streams of water that spill through cracks to your basement. Repairing your basement from flooding can be very expensive. Basement flooding creates a domino effect of problems. Winter waterproofing will save your house from flooding and potential mold damage.
Pipes and Drains
Pipes and drains should be checked for any damages. Snow melting creates groundwater. Pipes and drains are there to catch leaks and collect excess groundwater. Protecting pipes and drains can take a lot of maintenance.
Gutters and Downspouts
A waterproofing company will check for any exterior concerns of the house. The fall season came and left many leaves in the gutter. It is critical to make sure that gutters and downspouts are clear to do its job. Gutters and downspouts have an important job of moving water away from the house. It’s a smart investment to get these installed. Downspout extensions are a good option to prevent basement flooding even further. The extensions make sure that water will stream away from the house. Excess water is given more direction away from the house with the extension.
Sump Pump
A key component to basement waterproofing is a sump pump. The sump pump makes sure that water is pumped out of the basement and away from your home. It is worth taking these precautions by testing your sump pump and making sure it is functioning correctly.
