Hurricane Season Plumbing Checklist for Coral Gables Homeowners
Protect your home's plumbing before, during, and after a storm with this practical checklist.
Before the storm
Know where your main water shut-off is, clear outdoor drains of leaves, and consider a backflow preventer to keep sewage from backing up into your home.
During the storm
If flooding is likely, shut off the water heater and avoid using drains heavily, since municipal systems may be overwhelmed.
After the storm
Check for leaks, listen for running water, and have your sewer line inspected if drains are slow. We're available 24/7 for storm-related plumbing emergencies.
