With the warmer temperatures, now is a good time to shovel snow away from the foundation of your home. It is suggested that the snow needs to be moved at least six feet away otherwise water can seep into the foundation as the weather continues to warm up.
Basements will often have leaks because water has gotten into the ground and has frozen. When water freezes it puts pressure on your foundation causing cracking.
Be sure to also insure that your sump pump, if applicable is is working order.
Spring is around the corner, be prepared.
