Skip the chemical drain cleaners

Do-it-yourself drain cleaning may seem simple, but it often causes more harm. Chemical cleaners damage pipes and harm the environment, and they can lead to rust or even dissolve the pipe. Professional drain cleaning and sewer repair clear the problem safely and keep the whole system working.

Common causes of drainage clogs and backups

Most drainage problems come down to one of these.

  • Foreign objects Non-biodegradable items like wipes and cat litter block pipes.
  • Corrosion and rust build-up Aging pipes corrode, which restricts water flow and affects water quality.
  • Tree root intrusion Roots grow into pipes, causing blockages and damage to underground lines.
  • Grease and oil Cooking grease hardens and builds up into stubborn clogs.

Roots are a common problem in older lines. Read Tree roots and clay sewer lines in older neighborhoods, or see our sewer line repair service.

The short answer

Water drainage service is the installation, repair, and maintenance of the systems that carry wastewater and excess water away from a property. A licensed plumber uses sewer cameras and line-locating tools to find the cause of pooling water, clogs, and backups, then repairs the line or installs yard, basement, or French drain systems. It is needed when water pools in the yard, drains back up, or moisture threatens a basement or foundation.

Water drainage FAQ

What types of water drainage solutions do you offer?
We offer drainage for yards, basements, landscaping, and foundations, including French drains and customized drainage systems. We also work on residential and commercial drainage lines, from clogged drains to broken sewer lines. Routine drainage maintenance keeps those systems clear once they are in place. Every job is priced up front before work starts.
How do I know if my property has a drainage problem?
Pooling water, soggy spots in the yard, mold or mildew in the basement, and foundation cracks are the main signs of a drainage problem. Slow drains and backups inside the property point to a clog or damage in the lines. A licensed plumber can use a sewer camera to see what is happening inside the pipe. Finding the cause early helps prevent water damage.
Can poor drainage affect my home’s foundation?
Yes, poor drainage can affect a home’s foundation by letting water pool near it, which can cause cracks and structural damage. Proper drainage carries that water away from the building. French drains and other outdoor systems channel excess water away from the home and reduce erosion. Fixing the drainage protects the foundation from further harm.
What causes yard drainage issues?
Yard drainage issues are commonly caused by soil compaction, improper grading, and blocked or damaged drainage systems. Compacted soil and poor grading leave water with nowhere to go, so it pools on the surface. A blocked or broken drain line stops water from leaving the yard as designed. Yard and landscape drainage systems prevent outdoor pooling, protect landscaping, and reduce flood risk.
How can I prevent clogs in my drainage system?
Regular maintenance and keeping foreign objects out of your drains are the two main ways to prevent clogs. Wipes, cat litter, and other non-biodegradable items block pipes, and cooking grease hardens into stubborn clogs. Routine cleaning and inspections catch build-up before it becomes a backup. Avoid chemical drain cleaners, which can damage the pipes.
Do you offer drainage solutions for commercial properties?
Yes, we provide customized drainage solutions for both residential and commercial properties. Commercial drainage covers the same essentials: carrying wastewater away and preventing pooling and backups. We diagnose problems with sewer cameras and line-locating tools on any property. We work around your schedule with as little disruption as possible.
What is a French drain, and how does it work?
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that directs water away from areas prone to flooding. Water soaks into the gravel, enters the pipe through its perforations, and is carried away to a safer spot. That keeps water from collecting against the house or in low parts of the yard. French drains are one of the outdoor drainage systems we install.
Can you help with basement water drainage?
Yes, we offer basement drainage solutions that prevent moisture build-up and leaks. Basement drainage is customized to manage water levels and keep moisture out. Mold or mildew in a basement is one sign that the drainage needs attention. Keeping the basement dry also protects the foundation.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners for clogs?
No, chemical drain cleaners are not a safe choice because they can damage pipes. They can lead to rust or even dissolve the pipe, and they harm the environment. Professional drain cleaning clears the clog safely and keeps the whole system working. If clogs keep returning, a camera inspection can show the cause.
How often should I schedule drainage system maintenance?
An annual inspection and cleaning is recommended to keep a drainage system working properly. Yearly maintenance clears build-up before it turns into a clog or backup. It is also a chance to catch damaged pipes or tree root intrusion early. Properties with heavier use may benefit from more frequent checks.
