As Spring approaches quickly and warm winter weather days start creeping into our forecast, it is important to insure proper drainage of the melting snow and ice around your home.

Make sure to clear the ice blockages and snow around the bottom of your eavestroughs and clear a path for the water to drain to the street or away from your house.

Clearing the snow and ice from the storm drains in front of your house will provide a clear path for drainage from your house and prevent pooling.

It is also recommended while shoveling snow throughout the winter to avoid piling it up against the house to reduce the chance of water seepage into your basement during periods of warm weather.
