With heavy rainfall and rising flood risks during hurricane season, simple drainage maintenance can protect your home and property.

Here are some helpful tips to prepare your home:

 🧹 Clear gutters, downspouts, and storm drains of leaves and debris

🏡 Grade your yard so water flows away from your foundation

🔧 Inspect sump pumps and backflow valves for functionality

🛑 Report blocked neighborhood drains to local authorities

Storm drains aren’t just the city’s job, everyone has a part in protecting our neighborhoods from flooding.
