Storm water

For residential property, storm water drainage is the responsibility of the property owner. In case of improper management, it can cause:

• Flooding
• Erosion
• Waterways pollution

While its proper management can keep your garden lush. Some properties may require a grated drainage system to deal with large water flow at ground level.

Storm Water Management

It is important to know that storm water drainage infrastructure is not associated with the sewerage system. It demands its own maintenance. Drains for storm water have to deal with an enormous volume of water.

Measures to prepare your home plumbing for storm season

It is essential to prepare your home plumbing for storm water or flooding situations to keep it protected. Add the following to your “To Do List” before the storm season arrives.

Clean Gutters

Over time, leaves and debris build up eventually making its way down into the gutters. Mud and debris can also block the drains once washed down into the gutters.  This can cause gutters to small and reduce the flow of water.  Before storm season, it’s best to clean out the gutters or hire a professional local plumber to take care of it on your behalf.

Clean Drains

Before the start of the rainy season, it is essential to clean out all the drains of your house. In the event of  heavy rains, the drains are likely to be overflowing. At its best, it is a nuisance, which can turn into a nightmare at worse. You can use professional service to clean out the drains. An expert local plumber is equipped with the right tools and knowledge to ensure that the drains are perfectly clean.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pump ensures the protection of the foundation of your property.

Seal Water Lines

Storm water can easily enter into the water service lines of your home if they are not effectively waterproofed. A local plumber can inspect and resolve any issues before the rains arrive. This will protect your main water line from being contaminated.
