Flooding can happen any time of the year but as we know, In Michigan, we are entering the wet and rainy season of the year.

Here a few of tips that can help prevent damage to your home or business. 

Gutters – Keeping well maintained gutter systems can help with diverting the water to drainage areas.  If your gutters have leaves and debris in them the rainwater will overflow and can pool up near your foundation causing damage to your basement.

Grading the Yard – Adding top soil to the low spots around your foundation wall can help drain the water away from the foundation.

Response plan – Have a plan of action if a storm hits.  In the event of flooding, make sure that you have a program in place to handle the flooding and damage.
