Install a sump pump.

There may be a variety of reasons that water gets into your basement. Regardless of the causes of your basement flooding, prepare for it by installing a sump pump. Sump pumps will help when excess water gets into your basement. While it won’t prevent it from happening, it will help manage the water when heavy rains come.

Hire professionals to look at the cracks in your foundation.

Your sump pump installation won’t keep water from entering your basement. Say goodbye to wet basements forever by waterproofing your basement.

Hire professionals to inspect the cracks in your foundation walls and basement floor. While some cracks may be no cause of concern, others may indicate more complicated issues that must be addressed immediately.

Foundation problems can be repaired! But the process should only be trusted to certified experts with a lot of industry experience.

Have a professional look at your landscaping and gutters.

You can’t stop April showers from coming, but you can help direct where the water goes on your property. Do you need help directing rainwater and melting snow?

Hire an expert to examine the grading surrounding your home. Ask that they look at your existing gutters to see if they are large enough to keep up with the excessive spring rains. Also, ensure that the downspout extensions direct water to an area that won’t harm your foundation walls.

Prevent water problems by giving the water a place to go. This will help keep your basement dry and will reduce the likelihood of future foundation problems.
