Water coming up drain in basement?
When there is a backup in the various city or your local drainage system the lowest point in your home may have the drains fill up or overflow. If you live in an area that has this problem on a regular basis there is a temporary fix, that can help you avoid a partially flooded basement. If your home has one floor drain, try this: Uncover the drain and check the size of the pipe... get a length of PVC pipe with the outside dimension the same as the inside dimension of the floor drain pipe. (the new PVC pipe should be 3 feet or more) place this pipe in the drain, standing vertically, use vinyl tape to taper the bottom of the new pipe to assure that the pipe is tight in the floor drain. Doing this may seem a little strange but this drain modification will now allow you an additional few feet of insulation between a dry vs. a wet basement. If you have more than one drain, then do the same to both.
