As autumn arrives, falling leaves and rain become real challenges for your plumbing system. To avoid clogs, leaks, or more serious damage, it's worth taking a few simple and effective precautions.
- Clean your gutters regularly
Leaves quickly build up and block the water flow. Regular cleaning ensures proper drainage.
- Protect drainage openings
Use mesh covers or grates to keep leaves and debris from entering the pipes.
- Check the condition of nearby trees
Weak branches or unhealthy trees can pose a risk. Trim them if necessary to avoid interference with the pipes.
- Use protective filters
Install filters to trap leaves and dirt before they reach your drainage system.
- Schedule regular maintenance
Have your pipes checked regularly by professionals to keep everything running smoothly and avoid nasty surprises.
These simple actions can prevent many problems — and save you money. Prevention is always better than cure!
