• Blockage
• During heavy rain, debris collects in your
  gutters and will make its way into your drain
  pipes, causing them to become blocked. To avoid
  blocked pipes, periodically clean your gutters to
  remove additional debris and keep trees close to
  your home cut short.

• In the case of free-related blockages, we have
  state-of-the-art equipment able to clear the
  drain system whether the clogged is a result of
  sludge, tree roots, mud, debris and sewage. We
  have video camera inspection equipment to ensure
  the drains are free of clogs and to inspect the
  sewer line.

  that can be very expensive to repair, but by
  taking a few preventative steps, flooding can be
  avoided.

• Flooding is caused by insufficient drainage
  around your home so if you live in an area that
  is prone to flooding, be sure to
• Install a sump pump to help remove water from
  your foundation
• Remove debris from your gutters to reduce
  overflow
• Ensure your downspouts gave adequate water flow
  and are distant from your home
