Protect Your Whole Home

How do you protect your family? One of the basic ways to keep our families safe is by keeping our homes safe. You probably take actions to protect your home more often than you realize. You may have invested in a security system to keep intruders out. There may be a fence around your property. You daily lock doors and windows, remind family members to do the same, and watch for repairs that will keep your home safe.

With all that in mind, how often do you think about your basement?

People use their basement spaces in endless ways. Maybe you recently remodeled your basement to include an additional guest room or entertainment area. Maybe you have wall-to-wall shelves filled with holiday items, suitcases, and childhood memories. But, do you have a protection plan for this area?

Whether in the form of storage or remodeling investments, you probably have lots of value in your basement. All this could be destroyed during the course of a thunderstorm or flash flood. Be careful not to forget your basement space. It deserves protection from the elements, just as the rest of your home does.

Your basement is at risk if you don’t have the proper equipment in place to divert water. You can make a few simple adjustments to make sure your basement does not flood. Maintaining your sump pump or installing a new one will ensure that water will be pumped away from your foundation and basement. Installing a battery backup sump pump will give you an extra sense of security as it will start in case of electricity loss.
