Inspect and Maintain Pipes

Heavy rains increase pressure on your plumbing. Regularly inspect pipes for cracks, corrosion, or leaks. Early detection prevents costly water damage and flooding.

Clean Gutters and Downspouts

Clogged gutters and downspouts can cause water to overflow, increasing the risk of basement or crawl space flooding. Keeping them clear ensures water is directed safely away from your home.

Check Sump Pumps and Drains

Make sure sump pumps and floor drains are working properly. Test them before heavy storms to ensure your home stays dry and protected.

Install Backflow Prevention Devices

Backflow can allow contaminated water to enter your clean water supply during heavy rain events. Installing backflow preventers safeguards your plumbing and health.

Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners

During the rainy season, slow drains may tempt you to use chemical cleaners, but they can damage pipes. Instead, call a professional for safe maintenance.
