Don't Let Snow Melt Wreck Your Basement!

Snowmageddon 2026 is finally beginning to melt, and all that water has to go somewhere! If your basement's not properly waterproofed, the snow melt may end up flooding your basement. Luckily, there are a few steps you can take to prevent your basement from flooding as spring temperatures return and the snow begins to melt.

Preventing flooding from snow melt

There are several steps you can take both before and once the snow begins to melt to make sure your basement is protected from floods. For starters, it's important to remove as much snow as possible from the roof and perimeter of your home to prevent the gutters from being overwhelmed by rapid snow melt. Also, make sure to keep snow piles away from the foundation where they will eventually melt and potentially cause basement flooding.

It's not too late to act once the snow has begun to melt. You can remove blockages from gutters, drains, and downspouts to make sure the water is properly channeled away from your home's foundation. If your basement has a sump pump, ensure that it is functioning properly and is also clear of any debris or blockages. 

Basement waterproofing with Mid-State Basement Systems

Most importantly, it's critical to make sure your basement is properly waterproofed to prevent flooding during any season. Mid-State Basement Systems offers basement waterproofing with our patented WaterGuard interior basement drainage system that prevents flooding due to snow melt and heavy rains.

WaterGuard effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to your sump pump. We can even upgrade your sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump, a 3-pump-in-1 system that protects against pump failure, power outages, and high water volume.
