5 Ways to Stop Flooding in Your Home

Have you experienced flooding in your home? Know how to prevent it from happening again.


No homeowner ever wants their home to be flooded. But it is a natural phenomenon so you have to prepare for it by ensuring that it will not affect your house too much. For those who are worried that the flood will enter their home, these are five things to do:

Repair your property’s foundation

Having a weak property foundation can result in floodwaters entering your home. This can further weaken the foundation and result in a massive loss for your property. By repairing the foundation, you will be able to keep the value of the property a bit closer to its purchase value. To help you prepare for the fall and winter season, you may want to contact a home foundation repair service so your home will not experience flooding.

Put sealants and coatings on the wall

Coating and sealants are among the most effective ways for you to ensure that the flooding does not enter your home. These materials are usually called dry flood-proofing because they just have to be put on doorways, walls, foundation, and windows. You just have to put the coating and sealants in the cracks and holes on the walls. Of course, you have to buy coating and sealants that are of good quality so they will work.

Tilt the lawn away from your home

You need to make sure that the house and its exteriors are designed in such a way that does not facilitate flooding in your home. You might want to think of the angle by which your lawn is positioned relative to your property. If the lawn is angled towards your home, there is a big chance that rainwater will enter the property. You may also want to cultivate and till your lawn properly as it helps the soil absorb the water better and prevent your home’s foundation from breaking down.

Raise the switches and electrical outlets

Even when there is little to no chance of your home getting flooded, you should still make sure that you position circuits,outlets, sockets, and switches on a relatively high place. Otherwise, you may experience massive electrical damage and endanger people in your home. It is advisable to put these electrical features at least a meter from the ground. You might also want to put covers on the sockets, outlets, and circuits as an additional safety measure for you.

Put the downspouts away from the property

Unless you are particular about the features of your house, you may not know what downspouts are for. They form a good part of your gutter system as it helps divert rainwater away from your property. If you do not have downspouts or if you put the downspouts near your home, it can cause water damage to the property. If possible, the downspouts should be pointed away from your home so you will not see creaks on your basement in the next few years.

Conclusion

Flooding can destroy your home and cost you thousands of dollars. You should do foundation repair and raise your switches and outlets to help prevent it.
