Spring is here and the flowers are finally starting to bloom. Warm weather is on its way and you’re itching to break out your shorts and sandals. But along with the warmer temperatures comes spring rain, lots and lots of rain. While all of this rain is great for your yard and garden, it’s not great for your basement.

Water in your basement is most likely to occur when there has been heavy rainfall. The good news is you can reduce the chances of your basement flooding with these tips.

So how do you prevent your basement from flooding? There are a few things you can do inside and outside of your home to prevent possible damage from flooding.
