Storm Drains

As severe weather begins to come into our region it is wise to understand the importance of keeping your storm drains clear! Storm drains can become clogged with leaves, sticks and other debris that are washed towards them with excess rain and heavy winds. If your storm drains become clogged that could lead to the flooding of your streets, yard and even your basement if not taken care of. 

Here are some tips to help ensure that your storm drains will not become clogged.

• Keep a tight lid on your trash cans and recycling bins
• Pick up trash around your community
• Do not rack your leaves into the street
• Do not blow your grass clippings into the street

If you have stairs that lead down into your basement from the outside, it is VERY important that storm drain remain clear and unclogged ALWAYS. The drain is one of the most important to keep clear as that area will quickly fill up and eventually make way into your basement.
