The first day of Hurricane season was June 1st. Be prepared for the heavy rain that comes from tropical systems. A Hurricane can have a significant impact on your drainage system creating various problems if the system was not properly maintained.
Clogged drainage pipes can backup catch basins quickly causing water buildup in your yard.
If you’re not properly flushing your pipes and catch basins, you’re not getting all the gunk out. Consequently, buildup in your pipes cannot always be cleared with traditional methods, as it gets pushed to the sides and be left filling up your pipe. Hydro-jetting may be the answer to your dirty pipes. It will get your leaves, grass and soot build up out of your pipes. Our camera’s can see if you have a blockage and roto rooter can break through heavy blockage like roots.
If the drainage lines become backed up, the prolonged rainfall from a hurricane saturates the soil. This makes it much less permeable. If the drains cannot move the water, the ground becomes overly saturated which leads to flooding.
