Water intrusion prevention tips from FEMA
Shorewood residents are exposed to all kinds of severe weather. With winter storms comes the potential for water intrusion into the basement of your home or business. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) water can get into a basement through:
- Through the drainage system, known as the sump.
- Backing up through the sewer lines under the house.
- Seeping through cracks in the walls and floor.
- Through windows and doors, called overland flooding.
