You may have noticed water backing up around your rear yard or around your driveway every time it rains. This is a sign your storm water drains are blocked. water that runs from your roof is channeled through gutters and down pipes and then into your storm water system. When your storm water drains block up, a lot of water can form quickly around different areas of your home.
Storm water drains block for several reasons ranging from dirt build up in the drains to tree roots entering the drain through cracks or broken sections.
