Drainage Tips for Southgate

On Southgate's flat Downriver clay, sewer backups and sump failures recur, so keep the sump tested and the pit clear, and if you've flooded, add a backwater valve to block the sewer from backing in. Have the lateral cameraed if backups return to the same drain — it's usually a fixable cause rather than bad luck. During heavy rain, hold off on big water loads while the ground is soaked, and make sure the sump discharge carries water well away from the house rather than pooling beside the foundation.
