Outdoor drains are essential for keeping water away from your home or business. It is important to have these drains inspected regularly to ensure that they are clear of any blockages. If a drain becomes blocked, it can cause a number of problems, including water damage and flooding. The most important tip to remember is that all blockages can be prevented. 

There are a number of things that can cause outdoor drain blockages. The most common culprits are leaves, twigs, and debris. These items can build up over time and eventually cause the drain to become blocked. In some cases, tree roots can also invade outdoor drains, causing them to become blocked. If you have an outdoor drain that is frequently blocked, it is important to have it inspected by a professional. Top Notch Sewer and Drain Cleaning will be able to determine the cause of the blockage and take steps to prevent it from happening again.

At Top Notch Sewer and Drain, we use camera inspection for the most efficient and effective solution for detecting blockages in your plumbing system. It is crucial to never put anything down your drain such as small objects, food that doesn’t break down, and any debris from your yard.  You don’t want leaves and twigs to get into the drain during your fall yard clean up either.  It is important for the outdoor drains to remain clear so they can do their job. Otherwise you might experience an unfortunate back up that could affect your yard, foundation, or home.
