Drain care for flat, wet ground, Memphis.
The Mississippi Delta is flat, and flat ground drains slowly. Water tables rise after storms, low lots hold water and sewer lines have little fall to work with. Backwater valves, sump pumps, yard drains and routine jetting help keep wastewater moving and water out of the house.
Memphis is about 196 miles from downtown Nashville, in Shelby County.
Little fall, easy clogs
Flat lines slow the flow, so grease and debris settle. Regular jetting keeps them moving.
Water that stays
Yard drains, French drains and sump pumps move standing water away from the house.
Backwater protection
A backwater valve stops a flooded street main from pushing sewage into the house.

What is a backwater valve and do I need one?
A backwater valve is a one-way valve in the sewer line that closes if wastewater tries to flow backward from the main. It is a good idea where storms overload the sewer or the lowest drains sit near street level.
