Was your house ever flooded or is currently flooded? Was the rain too much for you to deal
with?
Every year we get called to treat dozens of floodings during the winter, with an estimated
damage that often reaches tens of thousands of shekels.
We would like to share with you some simple tips from our experience that can save you
much anguish.
1. Clean the downspouts: Clear out any leaves and dirt from downspouts that are located on
the sides of the house (while taking safety measures such as using a ladder, wearing a
protective helmet, etc.).
2. Clean the drainage systems in your porch or patio: Every outdoor area with flooring
should have a drainage system. The drain may sometimes be clogged with leaves and debris
or covered by plants. It is very important to clear away whatever is blocking the drain and
pressure-wash it with a hose or pressure washer and see the water coming out at the other
end.
3. Check the sealing on your windows and glass doors: Call in a professional to make sure
that all of your windows are sealed against rain and wind.
4. Check the plastic fittings: Electrical devices such as a water dispenser, washing machine,
or refrigerator with a water dispenser tend to overflow and cause flooding. The fittings
weaken over time and break due to pressure in the pipes. Make sure to check your devices
at least once a month.
5. Are you leaving the house for a day or two? Turn off the main water shut-off valve! Many
floodings occur when the house is empty for a long period of time.
6. Make sure that you have insurance for your home and its contents! Even if you’re only
renting an apartment, your furniture is second-hand, etc.—when you suffer from water or
fire damage, you may find yourself all of a sudden spending tens of thousands of shekels.
