Several Ways!  Many of them Free!

Why do some basements stay bone dry after a heavy rain, while others get water? A few simple techniques can sometimes make all the difference.  Don’t wait until after the next heavy rain to learn about them as you mutter to yourself, “If only I’d known”!  Instead, be proactive and invest 5 minutes to get armed with some tips available at our next General Meeting, Oct. 29.

We also hope to have available a list of what you can do in case of an area-wide flood that does affect you or a friend or relative.  Sometimes the professional “aftermath” services are booked for days; and time is of the essence.  These tips would help you through that scenario.

After the “100-year” rain this spring, a number of people were wondering about taking out flood insurance, and there was a lot of misinformation and speculation being bantered about.  One of the elusive points was what actually constitutes a “flood” from an insurance point of view.   We hope to have available at our meeting a long-time specialist who mucks around in the “aftermath” of flooded basements, assessing damage and cause. This is one professional you hope you’ll never have to meet in your own home!
