Tornado season is here—and homeowners across the Midwest are preparing for the obvious dangers: high winds, flying debris, and power outages.
But there’s one major risk almost everyone forgets…
💧 **Sewer backflow.**
When heavy rains hit during a storm, city sewer systems can get overwhelmed. That water has to go somewhere—and too often, it comes back up through your drains and floods your home with contaminated water.
This week, states like Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska are already seeing conditions that could lead to severe storms and flash flooding.
Here’s the reality:
Even if your home survives the tornado… sewer backup can still cause thousands in damage.
✔️ Basements flooded
✔️ Flooring and walls destroyed
✔️ Hazardous contamination
The good news? This is one of the **easiest problems to prevent**—if you act before the storm hits.
A temporary sewer backflow prevention device can be installed in minutes and creates a barrier that stops sewer water from entering your home.
