Spring is Michigan's wettest stretch of the year and your basement is the first place to feel it. Here are some tips to make sure your sump pump is working properly and your basement stays dry.

- Test your sump pump now by pouring a bucket of water into the pit to confirm it activates.

- A battery backup is worth having. If heavy rain knocks out power, your primary pump goes with it.

- Standard homeowners insurance typically does not cover sump pump failure or groundwater flooding.

A water backup and sump overflow endorsement is needed - and it is usually one of the least expensive add-ons available. Contact our family insurance company; Insurance One today and make sure you have it before you need it.

If you've looked at mortgage offers, you may have noticed two distinct numbers: the interest rate and the APR. Here's the distinction: 🔍

🏷 Interest Rate: The cost of borrowing the principal loan amount, expressed as a percentage.

🏷 APR (Annual Percentage Rate): A broader measure that includes the interest rate PLUS additional costs such as lender fees, mortgage points, and some closing costs. 📋

When comparing loan offers, always examine both, and don't hesitate to ask questions. 🙋 Understanding the total cost of your loan is one of the best ways to safeguard yourself as a buyer. 🏠 We love clarifying these concepts. Reach out with any mortgage questions — no query is too basic!
