Keep your home free from flooding by regularly cleaning your window wells. Keeping them clear and free of leaves and debris allows water to drain properly and prevents water buildup and flooding. Instead of spending time repairing water damage and replacing your flood-damaged belongings, you can spend time patting yourself on the back because you became captain of the clean window well movement. Let rain collect in birdbaths, vegetable gardens and swimming pools, not your basement or your living room floor.

You can make this task even easier by buying a cover at your local home repair center. Imagine all of the time you will save by not calling your insurance company and not mopping your basement floor. What are you waiting for? Start cleaning and let it rain!
