- Leader drains remove rain water from your gutters and deposit it away from the home. Many a flooded basement was caused by a clogged leader drain.
- Keep the sewer pipes from the house free of tree roots that may invade them. If roots are a particular problem in your yard, you may need to call in professionals once a year or so to clear the pipes. Russo Bros. & Co. is equipped with electric augers capable of cutting tree roots from pipes.
- Flush the drain-waste and vent systems whenever you go up onto your house roof to clean out downspouts or gutters. Run water from a garden hose into all vents, giving them a minute or two of full flow.
