Q: How can I protect my house from a sump pump failure?

• <div><p>Thankfully, you do have a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-your-sump-pump-running.htm">sump pump backup options</a> in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. </p><p>Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home&rsquo;s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.</p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to waterproofing the basement?

• <div><p>Some basement waterproofing methods can actually cause your water or moisture problems to get worse, which is why it&rsquo;s so important to call in a professional who knows how to solve your underlying issue and use the appropriate waterproofing methods. An example of this would be applying latex waterproofing paint to the insides of your basement walls without fixing the water issue outside. Doing so can trap moisture in the basement walls, which can promote mold growth, peeling paint, and even damaged concrete. However, when done by a professional, the only downside to basement waterproofing is the up-front cost. </p></div>

Q: How do I make good drainage around my house foundation?

• <div><p>The best way to ensure the ground next to your home&rsquo;s foundation drains properly is to divert water away from it as much as possible. While a flood wall can stop water from entering the house, gutters and spouts can help direct rainwater and melting snow away from the foundation. Keep your gutters as clear as possible from dead leaves and other yard debris so they can effectively divert water from your house. Add extenders to the spouts so the water runs out and away from your home, not into the surrounding soil. </p></div>

Q: What is the real purpose of a crawl space?

• <div><p>A crawl space is an area under the house that provides access to plumbing, electrical, heating ducts, and other HVAC units. Its purpose is to create a buffer between the ground and the living area, helping with ventilation, moisture control, and access for maintenance or repairs. Crawl spaces are most often seen in houses in North America which are built on concrete foundations versus other parts of the world where buildings are constructed differently.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep water away from my crawl space?

• <div><p>Proper drainage is the only way to ensure that your crawl space stays dry. Depending on your property and the extent of your issue, you might need to consider a gutter system, a French drain, or sump pumps to avoid and handle water and moisture under your home. Dehumidifiers can also help to prevent moisture from accumulating if you have a high-humidity environment.</p></div>
