Preventing Strainers
One of the most common ways to prevent strainers is by using a backflow preventer. This device is installed in the line between your water supply and your home. It allows water to flow in one direction only, preventing it from flowing back into your home and causing strainers.
You can also avoid strainers by regularly checking your pipes for leaks and repairing them as soon as possible. Additionally, be sure to clean out your gutters and downspouts so that they are not blocked and causing water to pool around your foundation.
