Recently, you’ve probably noticed a disturbing trend in regards to weather patterns. Unpredictable, sudden, severe, and abnormal weather trends that seem to get worse as the temperature rises. No, it’s not your mind playing tricks on you, global warming is a real threat that’s driving warmer, wetter months than ever before. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), every month in 2016 has been warmer than the average baseline for previous months. Furthermore, heavy rains in early and late March caused significant flooding across Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, an increase in surface air temperatures causes an increase in evaporation and generally higher levels of water vapor in the atmosphere. In addition, a warmer atmosphere is capable of holding more water vapor. The excess water vapor will in turn lead to more frequent heavy precipitation. Take a close look at the most recent flash floods in Texas, amongst other states, and you’ll see the trend is all too common nowadays. Heavy rainfall, and a dry ground, equals flash flooding, and it can happen in an instant. It’s not only your basement you should be concerned about during these events, it’s the standing water that can be left after heavy rains have ended.
To ensure that your basement and personnel investments are protected during a power outage and/or heavy rainfall, check your sump pump regularly. Spring is no longer the only rainy season, so it’s best to check your sump pump multiple times each month. Raise the float switch to activate your pump and jot down any abnormalities you may notice.
