If you have a sump pump, ensure that it is in proper working condition. The weather is warming up and the snow is melting fast. Your sump pump will ensure that this water is pumped away from the foundation of your home.
A secondary pump installed next to the first is also a good idea in the event that the first fails. For the added piece of mind, this back up pump can also be battery operated so in the off chance that the power goes out it will still operate.
The options to protect your home from water damage are endless. Water sensors are also available at local hardware stores for a reasonable price that can alert you if water is detected where it shouldn’t be. These can be connected to your wifi so you are able to receive these alerts even if you are not home.
