🍂🚨 FACT CHECK FRIDAY: MYTH vs. FACT! 🚨🍂
❌ MYTH: Leaves piling up outside are just a yard cleanup problem!
✅ FACT: Leaves can cause bigger problems than you think! When they build up around storm drains, gutters & drainage areas, they can block water flow & contribute to flooding around your home.
🔎 THIS FALL, REMEMBER TO:
✅ Keep leaves away from outdoor drains.
✅ Clear leaves & debris from gutters & downspouts.
✅ Make sure water can drain away from your home’s foundation.
✅ Never rake or blow leaves into the street or storm drains.
🏡 A little fall cleanup can help prevent unwanted water problems around your home!
