With summer finally here, you likely want to spend your time enjoying the sun and hitting the beach, not worrying every time a storm occurs. The warmer months are notorious for bringing with them multiple torrential storms—as such, it’s crucial that you take the necessary steps to ensure your home isn’t at risk of having a flooded basement or loss of water from lightning taking out your well pump. The professionals at Service Plus provide comprehensive emergency service assistance to residential and commercial clients. Below, their staff offers three tips to help you avoid a flooded basement during the upcoming storm season:

  • flooded basementKeep Your Gutters Clean: Before the summer fully hits, ensure that any sticks, leaves, and other types of debris are removed from your gutters. This simple task can mean the difference between a dry lower level and a flooded basement when there’s heavy rain.
  • Maintain Your Storm drains: Storms may cause deluges that flood your yard, and that water needs somewhere to go. Make sure your local storm drain is working properly so it can direct this water to the right place and prevent damage to your home. You may require our assistance to make sure your drains are functioning properly.
  • Address Cracks in Your Foundation: One of the main causes of flooded basements is a cracked foundation. No matter whether your home was recently built or has been standing for decades, you should inspect your foundation for cracks each year. If you spy small fissures, you may be able to caulk them to seal the concrete. Larger cracks, on the other hand, will require professional help, so reach out to a waterproofing or contracting company.

If you need professional assistance to ensure your storm drains and well pump  systems are in good condition, turn to the experts at Service Plus. They will provide you with the services you need to avoid a flooded basement or worse this summer. Give them a call today at (860) 234-9346 to schedule an appointment.
