Yard drains
require proper
maintenance and regular checks to make sure they are operating correctly. These
drains serve to prevent flooding in your yard as well as your neighbor’s yard.
If these drains become blocked, you could have potential flooding of not only
your yard, but your basement as well. The yard drains have a storage bin that
is below the sewer line. When this fills up over half way, you should remove
the grate and clean the debris out with a shovel or some other tool. If you do
not do this and the debris rises far enough up to block the sewer line, you
will have flooding.
You, as a homeowner, are responsible for any yard drains on your property. You
might want to call a professional plumber
to do yard drains, since it involves extensive work. You also need to be
careful that you do not drop the grate inside, or drop any debris into the
sewer line. This should typically be done once a year in the spring.
Additionally, you will find that leaves and other debris must be removed or
they will reach into the sewer system. It will be easier for a plumber to
perform this, since they are qualified and know what to expect when dealing
with sewer drains.
Yard drains or curb drains, must be cleaned to stop flooding. There is
special equipment that plumbers have that can make the job easier than getting
down on your hands and knees with a shovel to scoop the debris out. You can
easily find
a local plumber that will come to your home and clean the drains. Keeping
them clean is important for preventing flood damage to your home and yard.
If you are planning substantial remodeling
work, make sure you get three quotes. More than likely, each plumber will
have different suggestions. Listen to their suggestions and reasons, and decide
which ideas make the most sense to you.
