Basement Flooding Prevention in Clarksville

Clarksville's clay soil and heavy spring storms are a tough combination for basements. These steps help.

Gutters and downspouts

Keep gutters clear and extend downspouts several feet from the foundation.

Grading

Soil should slope away from the house.

Sump pumps

Test the pump before storm season. Consider a battery backup for power outages, and a high-water alarm.

Backwater valves

A backwater valve can help prevent sewer backups into floor drains.
