How to Protect Your Staten Island Home’s Plumbing from Summer Storms

Summer storms in Staten Island can arrive quickly—bringing heavy rain, flash flooding, and power outages that test your home’s plumbing system. Without proper preparation, even a brief storm can cause backed-up drains, sump pump failures, or foundation leaks. At Capital Contracting, Plumbing & Heating Corp., we offer expert Staten Island plumbing services to help homeowners stay one step ahead of storm damage.

When rainwater overwhelms exterior drains or seepage enters basements, the result can be more than just puddles. Clogged outdoor drains and poorly maintained sump pumps are two of the most common causes of summer flooding. Our team provides professional inspections and preventative services, including sump pump testing, drain cleaning, and backflow prevention. We ensure your home’s plumbing is ready to handle even the harshest summer downpours.

In older Staten Island homes, heavy rainfall can reveal vulnerabilities like cracks in sewer lines, improperly sloped piping, or outdated sump systems. Our licensed plumbers use advanced camera inspections and diagnostic tools to assess hidden problems before they escalate. We also install or upgrade sump pumps and water diverters to minimize flood risk and maintain the structural integrity of your home.

We’re fully licensed in both NY and NJ, and all of our work meets city compliance standards.
