在过去的几周里，这个国家的许多地方都经历了严重的冬季天气，包括那些通常看不到这种冰雪的地区。最终，冰雪融化，产生了比平时更多的水，一些家庭无法处理。幸运的是，有一些事情你可以做，以防止水进入你的房子和淹没你的地下室。下面是要知道的。

下雪怎么会导致地下室进水？

你可能不会把洪水和雪联系起来，但它可能会发生，特别是当天气迅速变暖时。

据加拿大洪灾服务公司称，情况如下：

冰雪融化的地下室是在冬天你的房子或房子周围积雪堆积的时候引起的，随着温度的升高融化了。再加上春天的降雨，这些积水会渗入土壤，渗入地下水，导致地下室进水。这将不会发生在每一个财产上，这取决于你的基金会是否遭遇了“压力测试”。如果地基容易受到地下水的渗透，你地下室的水会上升的可能性。

冬季如何防止地下室进水

保持地下室不被洪水淹没的最好办法是铲雪至少五英尺，远离地基，然后有机会融化。以下是一些其他提示，由当地人提供：

• If your home is on a grade or hill, shovel snow so that it doesn’t roll toward your home when it melts. This ensures melting snow flows away from your home, instead of towards it.
• Clear snow from your roof to prevent excessive buildups. This prevents a significant amount of water flowing through your gutters during a thaw.
• Keep drainage areas around your home clear of snow and ice build-up. This ensures melting snow will drain properly and helps prevent backups.
• Inspect basement walls for cracks. This includes caulking around windows too. Make repairs as necessary to prevent water from entering your basement.
• Check your landscaping before the snow arrives to ensure the ground slopes away from your home. Add additional soil if necessary to help melting snow flow away from your foundation.
• Check your roof for ice and snow build-up. This can lead to ice damages that allow melting snow to enter through your roof.
• Inspect your gutters and downspouts. Clear leaves and other debris regularly during the fall, as this can create blockages. Add downspout extensi*** to channel melting snow away from your home.
• Test your sump pump during the winter to ensure it works properly when the snow melts. Pour a bucket of water into the sump basin to engage the pump. If it doesn’t turn on, unplug the pump and investigate the issue.

如果你的地下室有水，不要忽视它。尽可能保持进水区域的清洁和干燥。
