Melting snow and spring rains cause flooding across New Jersey every year. Learn how to protect your home from spring thaw flooding and respond fast.
Why spring is risky
Frozen ground, melting snow, and heavy spring rain combine to overwhelm drainage and flood basements.
Prep before the thaw
Clear gutters and downspouts, test your sump pump, and check that grading directs water away from your home.
Watch the basement
Basements are the first to flood during spring thaw — keep valuables off the floor and monitor for seepage.
Respond immediately
If water gets in, fast extraction and drying prevent mold and limit damage.
Plan ahead
Knowing who to call for emergency flood cleanup before it happens saves precious time.
