Many homeowners dream of having a basement that they can make into their own space. Whether it’s for added living space, a man cave, or even a basement apartment. When adding features to a basement requires a substantial amount of investment, it’s paramount you protect your investment and the additional equity it has contributed to your property. 

Rainstorms and hurricanes can cause significant damage to your home ruining the investment you’ve made. Torrential rainfall and flash flooding may make water cleanup a further ordeal you rather not encounter. There are several steps that you can take to minimize the likelihood of a basement flood.

1. Building a rain garden may assist in preventing excess rain from coming into your basement.

3. Evaluate your basement and your entire home for any plumbing leaks.
