How to Protect Your Property

  • Keep insurance policies, important documents, and valuables in a safe-deposit box.  
  • Avoid building in a floodplain or on a hillside unless you elevate and reinforce your home. 
  • Place your water heater electric panel on higher floors or the attic if they are in areas of your home that may be flooded. 
  • Install check valves in sewer traps to prevent floodwater from backing up into the drains of your home. 
  • Build barriers to stop floodwater from entering the building. Such as berms, retaining walls, and levees.
  • Keep sandbags handy in case of flood
  • Seal walls in of your foundation and in basements with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage through cracks.
