Question
Is there anything I can do to prior to a flood or flash flooding?
Answer
Avoid building in a floodplain unless you elevate and reinforce your home or building. Be sure to elevate the furnace, water heater and electric panel is susceptible to flooding. Install “check valves” in sewer traps to prevent flood water from backing up in to the drains in your home. Construct barriers (levees, beams, floodwalls) to stop floodwater from entering your home or building. Seal basement walls with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage.
