As the vibrant fall foliage gracefully decorates Allentown, PA, it’s a visual treat we all look forward to each year. However, those beautiful leaves can be a significant concern for your plumbing if not properly managed. Fear not: at L&M Plumbing, we have your back! Let’s navigate through this leafy dilemma together.

Preventing Gutter Clogs

Fall leaves, while picturesque, often find their way into gutters, leading to potential clogs and overflow. Regularly clean and check your gutters to prevent water from spilling over and causing damage to your home’s foundation or basement.

Downspouts & Drain Guards

Installing guards on your downspouts and drains can effectively prevent leaves from entering and causing blockages. These guards act as a barrier, allowing only water to pass through while trapping leaves and debris. It’s a small investment that offers considerable protection for your plumbing.

Yard Drain Maintenance

Yard drains are susceptible to leaf accumulation, and ignoring this can lead to significant water pooling and potential property damage. Regularly clear these drains of leaves and debris to ensure smooth water flow. 

Sewer Line Checkup

Fall is the ideal time for a sewer line checkup. Leaves and debris, over time, may penetrate these lines, causing unexpected and costly repairs. Regular checkups can prevent these unpleasant surprises. For expert sewer line services, we’re just a call away.

Sump Pump Care

If you have a sump pump, it’s crucial to ensure it’s ready to handle the fall season. With increased rainfall and leaves falling, there’s an added risk of clogs and overworking. Conduct a quick test to make sure everything’s functioning as it should be, and consider installing a lid or cover to prevent leaf entry.
