3. How to Prevent Basement Flooding • While we all know that basements can flood, many of us don’t take the precautions necessary to reduce our risk. • Here are six great ways to keep your basement dry or lessen the damage. http://denverrestorationservices.com/

4. #1 Clean Out Your Eaves and Downspouts • To protect your home from basement flooding, make sure you have good drainage from your roof. If you don’t clean your eaves and downspouts, clogs can cause water will fill up and spill over. In winter, pooled water may freeze, causing breaks and water to run down, which can collect at the foundation. http://denverrestorationservices.com/

5. #2 Don’t Pour Oils, and Grease Down the Drain • Oils and grease should be thrown away. Don’t pour them down your drain because they can back up your pipes. They solidify when they cool and can cause a backup that could flood your basement. http://denverrestorationservices.com/
