How Sump Pumps Protect Your Home From Melting Winter Snow

Has the rain washed away all of the snow that winter storm Jonas brought to your home?

While we can’t wait for the snow to disappear, unfortunately melting snow also puts homeowners at risk of localized flooding - especially those that live below the water table.

Between the melting snow and the heavy rains that hit Rochester this week, it’s important to take the time to protect your home.  

Fortunately, you can prevent home flooding, protect your basement, and keep your belongings dry with sump pump protection.  

Sump pumps help prevent flooding by removing water that has accumulated in a sump basin.  The sump pump disperses the water away from your home, keeping your basement dry and your personal belongings safe.  

We offer sump pump services at AP Plumbing that help protect your home through the melting winter snow and well into the spring rains.

Sump Pump services include:

• Fast sump pump installations & repairs
• Backup Options
• Submersible Sump Pumps & Water Backup Systems
• Electric & Pressure Systems

How to Prevent Flooding This Fall

Cool fall weather is perfect for getting your home improvement projects out of the way before the holidays hit.  Here are a couple of tips to help you prevent floods this fall and keep your home comfortable through the end of the year.

Flood Prevention Tips:

• Check Your Sump Pump - Do you have a sump pump in your basement?  Sump pumps help prevent flooding and keep your home and your belongings safe.  If you are planning any holiday getaways, make sure that you check your sump pump to make sure that it's working before you leave the house.
• Clean Out Your Gutters - With the leaves falling more and more each day, you want to make sure that your gutters are clear.  Your gutters are responsible for letting water run away from your home.  When the gutters are filled with leaves, the water can become stagnant and on colder fall and winter nights, it can freeze and expand and damage your gutters.

If you are looking to add a sump pump to your basement or you are having trouble with your plumbing, don't hesitate to give us a call!  Call 585-216-3058 to contact our office or visit our website to learn more about the plumbing and remodeling services that we offer to the Rochester area.
