Heavy Rains and your London Home

Storm Season

When heavy rains hit during storm season, there are a few steps you can take to tackle these home emergencies: 

• Double-check the insulation in your basement. Excessive amounts of rain in a short period of time can overload basement waterproofing systems, saturating the earth around your basement and then pushing in through foundation cracks. Have an expert inspect your basement to make sure it is properly protected from heavy storm rains.
• Sometimes, basements that are perfectly protected can still flood, call your insurance provider to double-check your flood insurance. 
• The position of your home can also impact flood damages. Check your landscaping and the slope of your lawn. Professional landscapers can help with this task.
