This winter’s cold temperatures has kept the bulk of our snow fall hanging around. Warmer weather this week combined with rain will cause a rapid thaw, which will bring water into many finished basements. Do you have the proper coverage for your basement level? Many insurers make you buy additional coverage for the basement in what is called a sump pump rider.
In the event of a power outage or sump pump overflow, the structural and property damage in your basement will be covered. Check with your insurance agent to see if your basement is covered for water damage.
