Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs my landscape drains need cleaning?

If your landscape drain is clogged or needs cleaning, you’ll usually notice signs like:

• Standing water in your yard: Water that lingers after rain is a common sign that the drain isn’t working.
• Slow drainage: Water takes longer than usual to clear from low spots or near downspouts.
• Foul smells: Odors coming from the drain can mean that debris or stagnant water is trapped inside.
• Gurgling or bubbling sounds: These can happen when water pushes past a blockage.
• Water backing up toward your home: Drain problems can lead to water pooling near your foundation or hardscapes.
• Patches of overly green grass: This may indicate hidden drainage leaks or water pooling underground.
• Soil erosion or washouts: Excess water escaping the system can damage your landscaping.

If you notice any of these issues, it’s a good idea to schedule a drain inspection and cleaning before the next big storm. Regular maintenance helps protect your yard and foundation.

What are common causes of clogged landscape drains?

• Leaves, grass clippings, and twigs: These often get washed into outdoor drains during rainstorms or yard work, and can quickly block water flow.
• Soil, mulch, and sediment: Stormwater runoff can carry loose dirt and silt into your drain lines, leading to buildup and clogs.
• Tree roots: Roots naturally seek out moisture and can grow into or around drain pipes, blocking water flow or damaging the pipes.
• Improper yard grading: If your lawn or landscaping doesn’t slope correctly, water may pool or flow toward the drain too fast, bringing debris with it.
• Clogged gutters or downspouts: Overflow from blocked gutters can push additional debris and water into the landscape drain system.
• Compacted soil: Hard, compacted ground prevents water from soaking in, forcing more runoff into the drains than they’re built to handle.

How often should I clean my landscape drains?

Landscape drains should be cleaned at least twice a year, once in the spring and again in the fall, to keep them clear of leaves, dirt, and other yard debris.

If you live in an area with heavy rainfall or debris, you may need to clean your landscape drains more often. It’s also smart to check your drains after big storms to make sure they’re not clogged or damaged.
