Flooding can occur even in dry weather due to unexpected blockages to the sewer system around your home, broken appliances, toilets, and broken pipes. Here is a list of things you should know about flooding in your property:

Preventing flood damage

- Clean your roof’s gutters and downspouts and divert water 6 feet away from the building

- Get an automatic emergency generator to provide you with electricity during blackouts

- Purchase a sump pump that can drain water from your property and prevents water from rising during a storm

- Seal openings or cracks in the walls, floors, foundations and windows of your house

- Install porous pavement around your home to help absorb rainwater

- Ensure that your drainage systems and plumbing are functioning properly

- Check all of your appliance hoses to make sure they are in good repair
