During winter season many of us have to incur losses in damages as a result of basement flooding. To clean up the mess created by basement flooding we need assistance from commercial plumbing service provider. The following steps might help you to avoid problems created by basement flooding.
Sump Pump Condition
Sump pump is a pump used to remove water that has accumulated in a water collecting sump basin, commonly found in the basement of homes. This sump pump will help you to avoid basement flooding but you should take care that it is working properly. Regularly check if your sump pump has enough capacity to handle water during an emergency in winter. Many people have sump pump installed but do not even know if it is working or not. Check backwater valve alarm and backflow prevention valve.
Clogged drain lines are often the primary cause for basement flooding. Make sure that you clean your house’s internal drain lines with boiling water to remove grease and other waste material clogging the line or take assistance from drain cleaning service providers to clean it. Generally basements have some kind of waterproofing and you can consult a plumber to know if your basement has waterproofing or not. It will not cost you much.
Most of the times water gets into basement from a basement window, cracked wall or leaking water line. So make sure that your basement windows have extra protection and water does not enter from it.
Most importantly keep the contact information of a commercial plumbing and sewer service provider with you in case you have basement flooding problem. Do not wait till the last minute otherwise it could create a problematic situation for you.
