This week on the Rich Oris Home Improvement Show, Rich dives into smart ways to protect your home from sewer backups during heavy rain, including how MSD may offer free check valve installations. He also breaks down backflow preventers and other preventative options. Then, Rich talks deck maintenance: when to replace vs. resurface, how long wooden decks really last, and tips for staining prep.
