We've already had some rainy weather unexpectedly come our way and we should be prepared for more over the next couple months. Making sure your home, more specifically your yard, is ready for the rainy season will help avoid future issues when those clouds roll in.

Your area drain (also known as your landscape drain) needs to be free of all debris so that the rain can drain from your yard. Given that we don't regularly get rain water running through those lines, it's possible that you have debris building up (whether it's roots, leaves, or garbage). 

Running a snake down that drain will give you peace of mind knowing the rain water has a place to go.
