Southern California may be known for sunshine, but when the rainy season arrives, your home’s plumbing system can face serious challenges. From flooded yards to clogged drains, heavy rainfall often exposes hidden plumbing issues. At Perry Plumbing & Pipelining in San Diego, we help homeowners stay prepared with preventative plumbing services that keep systems running smoothly all year long.
Why Rainy Season Affects Plumbing in San Diego
Most homes in Southern California aren’t designed for frequent heavy rain. This means even a few storms can overwhelm drains, sewer lines, and sump systems. Without proper preparation, you could end up with:
-
Sewer backups
-
Flooding in basements or crawlspaces
-
Overflowing gutters and downspouts
-
Root intrusion in sewer lines
-
Costly water damage inside your home
5 Ways to Prepare Your Plumbing for Rainy Season
1. Schedule a Drain & Sewer Line Inspection
A professional camera inspection can spot cracks, blockages, or root intrusion before heavy rains cause backups. Perry Plumbing’s advanced video inspection ensures your main line is clear and ready.
2. Clean Out Your Drains and Gutters
Leaves, dirt, and debris can quickly clog outdoor drains and gutters. Clearing them before the rainy season prevents overflow and helps direct water away from your home.
3. Check Your Sump Pump (if you have one)
If your property is prone to flooding, make sure your sump pump is working properly. Test it by pouring water into the sump pit—if it doesn’t turn on immediately, it’s time for a repair or replacement.
4. Inspect Outdoor Drains & Yard Grading
Standing water in your yard after a storm can be a sign that your drainage system isn’t working properly. Our team can help improve grading and clear outdoor drains to keep water moving away from your foundation.
5. Consider Sewer Pipelining for Long-Term Protection
Older homes in San Diego often have clay or cast iron pipes that are vulnerable to cracks and root intrusion. Trenchless pipelining can restore your sewer line without digging, giving you peace of mind during the rainy season and beyond.
