Just wanted to share a quick tip that's been a game-changer for me: regular sump pump maintenance. As someone who's had their fair share of basement floods, I can't stress enough how vital it is to keep your sump pump in top shape.
I make it a point to inspect mine every few months, especially before the rainy season hits. Simple tasks like clearing debris, checking the power source, and testing the pump can save you a ton of headaches down the line.
Trust me, a little maintenance goes a long way in keeping your basement dry and your stress levels low!
