Sorry to hear you’re having a water problem in your crawl space. If it’s prone to collecting water, you might want to consider installing a sump pump to help prevent
flooding
in your crawl space.
Having a sump pump can protect your house from
water damage
in your crawl space that could get worse over time, potentially impacting the structure of your home, so you’ll want to take whatever measures you can to keep water out of your crawl space.
You might also want to figure out whether your foundation has any cracks or leaks that are allowing water from outside to come into your crawlspace.
If your crawl space is prone to water accumulation, it’s important you also have the right kind of insurance to protect your home, including water backup coverage if you have a sump pump. This might be included in a standard policy, or you might have to purchase additional coverage.
If you need to update your home insurance, the
Jerry
app can help you make the process quick and easy! You can even bundle with your
car insurance
for added savings.
All you have to do is download the app, enter your information, and you can start reviewing competitive quotes.
It takes less than a minute to get started, and the average Jerry user saves $887 per year on car insurance alone!
