Get rid of snow to prevent water damage

I am advising everyone that lives where all the heavy snow fell, to remove 2 -4 feet of snow in distance from the foundation and/or the sides of your homes. This will allow the melting snow to drain into the ground and away from the foundation and hopefully prevent a wet basement or crawlspace. Some of us have 14 – 30 inches next to our homes. Ensure your sump pumps, if applicable are working also. This snow melt will occur for several days.

    Good advice. If you’ve ever had a home with a tendency to suffer a flooded basement, you understand the necessity of this.
