Q: Can rats come up through drains?

• <div><p>Yes, rats can come up through drains. They can crawl through basement floor drains, lateral house drains, and roof drains. Installing rat blockers in your drains is the best way to repel rats and prevent them from entering your pipes. These are one-way valves that allow water and waste to flow out but keep rats from getting in. </p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover sewer backup?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance usually doesn&rsquo;t cover sewer backups because it&rsquo;s typically an avoidable problem with proper maintenance. The only exception would be if the backup is occurring because of local flooding and only if your city uses a combined drainage system for stormwater and sewage. If that&rsquo;s the case, your policy should cover any resulting damage.</p></div>

Q: Can I clear a sewer main myself?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.</p></div>

Q: What preventive measures can avoid future drain clogs?

The elections were very professional and completed the installation quickly and with minimal mess. They cleaned up after themselves and left the worksite very clean. I would use JM Electric again when I need another electrical repair!
