DROUGHT DOESN'T STOP AT YOUR LAWN.
It cracks the pipes underneath, too.
A few quick checks to protect your home:
‣ Walk your yard for cracked or sunken soil near sewer lines.
‣ Fix slow leaks at spigots and hoses.
‣ Know where your shutoff valve is.
‣ Keep sewer cleanouts clear and visible.
‣ Keep soil moisture even around your foundation.
‣ Water trees by slowly soaking the roots at the base of the trunk, away from sewer lines.
‣ Report street-level leaks.
Small checks now save big repairs later.
