4 Tips To Protect Your Home From Flooding
7/13/2020 (Permalink)
Flooding is the leading cause of damage to homes. Other than being prepared to evacuate in case of a flood, there are several things you can do to your Pickens County home to minimize water damage. We made a list of simple steps you can take to keep your home safe.
- Seal any cracks in your foundation: Use mortar or masonry caulk to fill in any gaps in the foundation.
- Have your lawn graded away from your home: If you notice rainwater pooling around your foundation, your yard may be tilted towards your home.
- Install a flood sensor: A flood sensor can detect a small leak before it can cause significant damage.
- Relocate your expensive or sentimental items to higher ground: If floodwaters are coming, move your valuables to higher areas to protect them.
