Overview
The rainy season brings more than just wet weather — it also puts your home’s plumbing system to the test. From clogged drains to backflow and basement flooding, unprepared plumbing can quickly become a disaster zone. In this blog post, we’ll highlight common rainy season plumbing risks and what you can do to stay ahead of them.
Slow Draining Sinks or Toilets
One of the earliest signs of trouble is water taking longer than usual to drain. This may indicate partially blocked pipes or overloaded drainage systems — issues that worsen rapidly during heavy rains.
What to Do
Have your drainage system professionally cleaned before the rainy season begins. Roofora’s plumbers can identify obstructions, remove buildup, and ensure smooth water flow throughout your home’s system.
“We used to dread every rainstorm. Our backyard drain always flooded and sent water into our laundry room. Roofora’s team came out, installed a backflow valve, cleared the underground pipes, and we haven’t had an issue since. Absolute lifesavers!”
Pooling Water Around the House
If water gathers around your home’s foundation or near exterior walls, it’s a major sign your plumbing or drainage is overwhelmed. Prolonged pooling can weaken your structure, flood your basement, or introduce mold.
What to Do
Inspect gutters, downspouts, and external drainage systems to ensure they're directing water away from your foundation. Roofora offers full drainage assessments and can install or upgrade systems like French drains, sump pumps, or gutter diverters.
Final Thoughts
Your plumbing shouldn’t be an afterthought during the rainy season. A few preventative steps can save you thousands in flood damage, mold remediation, and emergency repairs. Book a seasonal inspection with Roofora now and enjoy the rains without the stress.
