Experts share tips on how to reduce your home's flood risk
CTV Atlantic News interviewed our very own Dylan Riley regarding the water issues we have been having in our province, as well as some preventative measures. Check out Dylan speaking on our products and company.
Ridgeback Basement systems has been busy installing sump pumps and responding to other calls.
“Our phones are off the hook right now,” said Dylan Riley, the company’s general manager. “A lot of first-time floods. And a lot of reoccurring.”
Riley said the most popular item is a sump pump that comes with a battery backup. His team also installs water guards in homes that wrap around the perimeter of the house, and lead it off to a sump pump.
He also has other tips.
“I would recommend ensuring your eavestroughs are always cleaned out. Maybe at the end of your gutter spouts, make sure they run off your house. The last thing you want to do is recycle your water that drops off your roof right down to your foundation and right into your foundation,” Riley said.
