Downpours on sidewalks causing water in basements,
Electrical brownouts and powerline failures,
Subzero temps and a pipe bursting melee,
Kitchen sinks dripping and warped oak flooring,
These are a few of my favorite things! Wait no, that's not right. These are a few of my worst nightmares. You don't have to spend a fortune to have a basic level of preparation for your home in the event of water infiltration or a power outage. Here are a few of my favorite things:
1. Wayne WaterBug Glow submersible water removal pump+AUTO-OFF feature. Connects to standard garden hose. https://lnkd.in/g5cvw4k
2. Rigid Cordless Wet/Dry Vac runs on batteries so you can keep removing water even when the power is out. https://lnkd.in/gs3KHWY
3. StreamLabs leak detection. Uses radar tech to alert you to a possible leak - not a valve shut-off though. https://lnkd.in/gss3jMN
4. Ring Alarm Flood and Freeze Sensor - requires a ring security kit. Inexpensive but still effective. https://lnkd.in/gJB38WV
5. Utility valve tags for water and gas. These can be home-made or purchased inexpensively. https://lnkd.in/gkhqETE
