Most towns in NH may see 1” of rain or more in the next 24 hours. You might be sitting on the couch, but it’s likely a good time to make sure you’re prepared for water in your basement. And you might check your home several times over and especially tomorrow night. Here’s quick checklist to review. Share this post with someone that you know, has a basement.
1. Test the sump pump
Pour water into the pit to confirm it turns on and pumps outside�
Check battery backup (if you have one)�
2. Clear where water exits
Make sure sump discharge and foundation drains are not buried in snow or ice�
Downspouts should drain 4–6 feet away from the house�
3. Clear window wells
Remove snow and ice so rainwater can’t pool and leak inside�
Make sure window well drains are open�
4. Move items off the floor
Elevate boxes, tools, and electronics�
Keep storage away from basement walls�
5. Seal known trouble spots
Use temporary fixes (plastic sheeting, towels, sandbags) at:
Foundation cracks�
Bulkhead doors�
Previous seepage areas�
6. Check floor drains
Make sure they’re clear and not frozen�
If you’ve had backups before, limit water use during the storm�
7. Monitor during the storm
Watch for: Water along walls, Sump running continuously, Catching it early can prevent major damage

❄️ Cold‑weather reminder! ❄️
With temperatures dipping into the single digits over the next few weeks, now’s the time to protect your home from frozen pipes.
Keeping your thermostat set to at least 65°F—even when you’re sleeping or away—might add a few extra dollars to your heating bill, but it can save you from a much more expensive and stressful insurance claim. Frozen pipes can burst quickly, and repairs often cost thousands.
Cold winds can also hit certain exterior walls harder than others, causing pipes to freeze even overnight, so don’t rely on “it’s never happened before.”
