One of the most destructive and devastating things you can ever experience as a homeowner is a flood. There are many causes of household flooding, including:

✅ Heavy rains

✅ Storm

✅ Sewer back-up

✅ Malfunctioning sump-pump

✅ Leaked pipes

Humans burn fossil fuels, which adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases hold heat in. We need some greenhouse gases to keep the earth warm, but too much causes the polar ice caps to slowly melt, destroying the homes of some arctic and antarctic animals and raising the sea levels due to the melted ice.
