Our Mount Clemens and New Baltimore teams respond to flood emergencies 24 hours a day. Summer flooding is a recurring issue in New Baltimore, mainly due to its proximity to Lake St. Clair and frequent heavy rains. Sudden downpours and severe thunderstorms can cause water levels to rise rapidly, leading to flash floods that can damage homes and disrupt daily life.

To mitigate the effects of summer flooding, homeowners should take several preventative measures. Installing a sump pump can help keep basements dry while ensuring gutters and downspouts are clear and can prevent water from pooling around the home's foundation.

Landscaping can also play a role; creating a slope away from the house can help direct water flow. Sealing cracks and openings in the foundation and using waterproof barriers can further protect against water intrusion.

Preparedness is key. Residents should stay informed about weather forecasts and have an emergency kit, including essentials like water, food, and important documents. By taking these steps, New Baltimore homeowners can better safeguard their properties and families from the impacts of summer flooding.
