Friendly Reminder: Be Sure to Keep Gutters and Storm Drains Clean

Make sure that you have all gutters (on your roof AND in the streets) free of debris and leaves as winter approaches. Backed up storm drains on the streets can lead to flooded basements (its happened to me) and rain gutters that aren't cleaned out can cause water seepage in your basement. A little maintenance now to prevent a big headache later!

Also, keep in mind that the sides of curbs and streets are NOT okay places to dispose of your yard waste. This clogs gutters and when the freeze comes can cause hazardous slippery areas. Please be considerate and rake and bag your lawn refuse.

Thanks!
