A » Water backup after heavy rain around a home is typically caused by clogged gutters, insufficient drainage systems, or saturated soil around the foundation. Blocked gutters and downspouts prevent proper water flow, leading to overflow and pooling. Inadequate drainage systems, such as poorly graded soil or insufficiently spaced drainage pipes, can exacerbate the issue. Additionally, compacted or saturated soil fails to absorb water effectively, increasing the risk of water intrusion.
