• Install a sump pump and a backup sump pump : A working sump pump is your best defense against basement flooding. A battery-powered backup sump pump can take over if the primary pump stops working.
• Seal cracks : Seal any cracks in walls or foundations to slow or prevent water intrusion.
• Monitor water usage : Be alert to unusual increases in water bills, which may indicate plumbing leaks.
• Install water alarms that will sound or send a text to your smartphone if floodwater is detected.

Implementing these practices can help protect your property from water damage, and many insurance companies offer discounts when you implement some of these improvements.
