Downspouts overflowing?
Sump pump constantly running?
Water in the basement?
These can all be signs that your sump pump isn’t working properly, your downspouts are clogged, or your drainage system isn’t moving water away from your home like it should.
Your sump pump system is one of the most important parts of protecting your basement and foundation from water damage. If the downspouts or underground drains are clogged, broken, collapsed, or root bound, water has nowhere to go.
Check out this massive bundle of tree roots we pulled from a clogged downspout drain. The blockage was causing the downspout to overflow and wash out the customer’s flower beds. Problems like this can easily lead to basement flooding and foundation issues.
