How to keep your drainage clean and clutter free?
- Use outdoor drain covers to prevent leaves and twigs from causing blockages.
- If you live at a higher elevation, monitor pressure fluctuations and consider a water pressure regulator.
- Winterise exposed pipes and attic tanks to prevent freezing.
- If your home is near natural ground slopes, ensure your outdoor drainage flows away from the structure.
