Plumbing Care During Demolition - Inside and Out

Managing water on a homestead requires constant attention. We have pushed the demolition in the master suite as far as possible without disturbing the plumbing. Now we have to cap the water lines and start removing drains. This will allow us to remove walls around the shower, remove the old sinks, and remove the tub from our new walk-in shower. While doing all this plumbing, we experienced an extreme summer thunderstorm that dumped almost 4 inches in less than an hour. All that water revealed clogged down spouts on our gutters. As soon as the storm cleared we decided to fix the problem. It was a water day on the homestead.
