To avoid major damage from a flood or leak, taking preventative steps is vital. It will be too late during a flooding incident occurs because personal property is being damaged all around you. Here are some of the more important flood control tips to keep in mind:

• Rubber roof underlayment: during the process of replacing your roof, investing in a rubber roof underlayment will add an additional layer of protection. Water intrusion will be minimized at the cost of a few hundred extra dollars.
• Sump pump: a battery powered sump pump can be a real life saver if the electricity is down and you are experiencing a flooding event. A sump pump can quickly remove water from your home. The prices can range from $150-$400.
• Move expensive items in the attic: if your local area is prone to flooding then it makes sense to relocate the expensive items in your home to the attic. This can include electronics, paintings, and jewelry.
• Foundation cracks: it’s important to keep an eye out for foundation cracks. Patch them up if you see any because they can propagate and get larger in size over time. Ultimately, they can lead to flooding and cause much more damage than the investment to get the cracks patched up.
