Snow management can protect homes from spring flooding: SGI
Properly managing the snow around your home could keep water out of your basement this spring, according to SGI.
“There’s a lot you can do to make sure that when the snow melts, that water makes its way to the drain and not into your home,” SGI Canada Chief Operating Officer Don Thompson said in a release. “A little time spent now could save you a big headache as the weather warms up.”
Snow management is particularly important this year, Thompson noted, due to the recent heavy snowfalls and rapidly-warming weather.
“This much snow so late in the season could result in a very fast melt,” Thompson said.
