Addressing Drainage Failures Before They Happen

I’ve seen a lot of properties suffer from poor drainage systems that weren’t maintained effectively. Regular checks can prevent major issues, like flooding or costly repairs later on. One client almost lost their basement due to a blocked drain that could have been cleared with routine maintenance. What are some preventive measures you’ve found particularly effective?
