Best Way to Deal With a Flood? Make Sure it Doesn’t Happen

Flood-sign

Flooding is nasty, especially if it comes from your home’s drainage system. Nothing is worse than coming home to find the basement filling with sewage backing up through the drains.

A flood can be an expensive proposition – if your basement is finished, you’ll likely have to tear up flooring and carpets, have some drywall replaced, and sort through your destroyed possessions. You’ll have to deal with the insurance, contractors, and stress.

The best way to deal with a flooded basement is to do your level best to make sure that it doesn’t happen in the first place. If your home is older, you live on a treed lot, or you have a septic system, you should consider a program of regular inspection and maintenance, including Video Line Inspection (use of a Closed-Circuit Television Camera to investigate the interior of your sewer lines) and hydro-flushing to clear out any debris.

If your property has storm water catch basins, you’ll want to have them inspected to make sure they function properly – a buildup of debris can cause them to malfunction and excess water will find its’ way into your home through the foundation.

If you have a commercial building with a food preparation space, you likely have a grease trap, which by law needs to be inspected and cleaned on a regular basis.

Many building owners consider sewer lines an “out of sight, out of mind” issue, and don’t choose to go looking for problems. Unfortunately, by the time that a problem calls itself to your attention, it’s too late. Be proactive, and schedule an inspection today.

When you own property, you want to keep it maintained because this is always less expensive than having to make repairs when something goes wrong. It is convenient to find a company that can do multiple preventative maintenance services because then all of the work gets done at once and you do not have to worry about it for another year. Edenflo offers a preventative maintenance program that can help you to keep your property in great shape and save you time and money, as well as promote increased efficiency.

High Pressure Flushing
This can be used to tackle your drain and sewer lines and get all of the silt, sand, and sludge out of them. This can be done on both small lines and large lines to ensure that things are not getting clogged and causing problems, such as backup which can result in costly and damaging flooding.

Hydro Excavation
This is a good method for getting tree stumps prepared for removal and creating landscaping features. You can also get digging done in areas that are difficult to get to and get the trenches dug for line installation.

Sump and Catch Basin Cleaning
Catch basins and sumps need to be maintained to prevent clogging and motor burnout and this service can get all of the debris, water, and sand out of your basin and sump. This will ensure that you do not have issues with your sump.

Video Camera Line Inspection
Knowing what is happening with your drain lines is not easy, but it has to be done or else you risk experiencing costly repairs and this service can get the inspection done quickly. Using this method will help you to save time, reduce damage, and decrease repair costs, according to Edenflo.
