SELF-PROTECTION MEASURES FROM HEAVY RAINFALLS
– Wells outside the house:
I make sure that the drains outside the house are not blocked by leaves or rubbish. Even in cases where stormwater gutters are clear, heavy rainfall can lead to a build-up of debris that causes them to become blocked. By removing them, we help prevent flooding and maintain road safety.
– Basement:
In the case of a basement area, I take into account that it is necessary to dig a special pit for water accumulation, install an automatic water pump as well as remove valuable objects and expensive equipment from the basement.
– Residences:
If I live on a plot of land and have a yard, I make sure to leave soil free so that the land can absorb water, or I proceed to create a special rainwater drainage pit.
