Falling Leaves Are Pretty — But Now’s the Time for Drainage Maintenance!
The changing seasons in Northern California are a beautiful sight to behold. However, this beauty comes with a downside: the strain it puts on your property’s drainage system. In this blog, we’ll explain the importance of proactive drainage maintenance and how to protect your commercial or retail property this season.
Why Focus on Drainage Maintenance in Late Fall?
Towards the end of the fall and the onset of winter, piling leaves and precipitation can intensify existing drainage issues, turning minor inconveniences into major problems. Here are some of the hazards that can arise if you neglect to maintain your drainage systems.
- Leaf blockages: The fallen leaves become heavy with rain and irrigation run-off, causing clogged drains and backups during heavy rainfall.
- Safety hazards: Wet, leaf-strewn walkways are slippery, increasing slip and fall risks for customers, employees, and visitors to your property.
- Water damage: Poor drainage can result in puddles, damaged lawns, leaky basements, and even moisture inside your buildings.
- Pests: Standing water serves as a breeding ground for pests and diseases that can harm the health of your landscape.
