April:

Absolutely! April showers can lead to increased rainfall and potential issues with sewer and drain systems. It's important to ensure that your home is protected against water damage and sewer backups during this time. Here are some steps you can take to safeguard your home:

Schedule a Plumbing Inspection: Have a professional plumber inspect your sewer lines and drains to identify any potential issues, such as blockages or damage.

Clean Gutters and Downspouts: Ensure that your gutters and downspouts are clean and functioning properly to direct water away from your home’s foundation.

Consider a Backwater Valve: Installing a backwater valve can help prevent sewage from backing up into your home during heavy rainfall.

Check Your Sump Pump: If you have a sump pump, make sure it’s in good working condition. Test it by pouring water into the pit to ensure it activates properly.

Review Your Home Insurance Policy: Check your homeowners insurance policy to understand your coverage for water damage and sewer backups. It may be worthwhile to discuss additional coverage options with your insurance agent. 📞 Call me today!!
