I can’t suppose the amount of rain that my good friend and I have gained this month.
My basement was on the verge of flooding but luckily my good friend and I didn’t see any water.
I was legitimately blessed because my sister is moving to a current condo so a lot of her clothes and furniture has been stored in my basement for a few months now. When my good friend and I get a lot of rain there are several things that I have to check. For instance my basement and also how much water my outdoor plants get. I have plants that are planted in large flowering pots that rest outside. If they get too much water they will die so I like to move them under my porch so they don’t drown. I also like to check my sump pump. What I do is I check the discharge line that is at the side of my house. I clear out any debris that is around it that could be blocking the water that is coming out of it. When my good friend and I get a lot of rain it also means that a thunderstorm has come along with it. There have been certain times where our power has gone out so I will check on my sump pump again because my pump relies on electricity. Eventually I would like to talk to my plumber the next time he does a repair on my condo to see if I can get a back up battery system in case the power ever goes out, however checking on your sump pump is pressing especially when it rains you don’t want your basement to overflow due to your sump pump not laboring.
