Waterproofing Your Home

Before your NJ home gets flooded by the next major storm, there are precautions you can take. If prevention measures are not taking, damage can be caused to many vital appliances in your basement. If this happens, you will need a plumbing and heating professional in NJ to help you out. Before you have to make that call however, here are some tips for keeping your house flood-free, straight from plumbing professionals in NJ:

1. Make sure all gutters are clear of obstruction and fastened securely to the roof. Clogged cutters are the primary cause of flooding, as they concentrate the water into one area around the foundation of your home. This can cause cracks in the foundation, and water to seep into your basement. Before any major storm, clean out your gutters of all leaves, twigs, etc.

2. Check your downspouts. Downspouts direct the water from your gutter ideally away from your home. Check to make sure that these are clear and that the water is flowing away from the foundation of your house. You can check by running water through the downspout for 10 -15 minutes. If the water is not running away, there are extensions you can buy to fix this.

3. Waterproof your walls. There is a special sealant you can buy and apply to your basement walls to prevent leaking. The sealant fills in any cracks to prevent water from entering.

4. Finally, for those who have a sump pump, make sure you have a back up power supply in case the power goes out. The sump pump is vital to keeping your basement water free, and if the power goes out you could be in trouble.

If you are unsure about how to waterproof your home, there are plumbing professionals in NJ that can help. Hurricane Plumbing can answer any questions you may have. Talking to a plumbing professional in NJ is the best way to make sure that your home stays flood free.
