wave water woes goodbye

Water covers three-fourths of the earth’s surface and comprises some 90% of the human body and may be one the most important things needed to sustain life but when it appears in the wrong place or at the wrong time, quite often it can also be a right honorable pain in the neck, or worse - to the pocketbook. Who doesn't know someone who has had water problems with their iPhone, their water-heater, their roof or their basement walls?

Thankfully, there are small steps you can take in all of these cases to prevent the damage or at least minimize the impact. If you have an expensive phone, get a case and use care with where and when you use it. Have someone inspect your roof on a regular basis and keep the gutters free of leaves and other debris. If you are worried about your basement the best thing to do is read up on how to go about Waterproofing Basement Walls. I didn't know a sump pump from a French Drain but after a short read can say I feel quite the expert now and will rest just a little bit easier about the Christmas decorations and important papers we have stored in cardboard boxes down there in our basement now.
