French drain cleaning and unclogging

The result of improper installation often results in French drain obstruction. Over the years, a poorly installed drain will eventually fill with debris and prevent water from flowing properly. Result: moisture and water infiltration problems.

What are the causes of drain clogging?

Several factors can cause drain obstruction:

• A lack of ¾ gravel clean crushed stone over the French drain
• Backfill other than ¾ gravel
• The presence of iron ochre
• Too much vegetation
• Etc.

How to unclog and clean a French drain?

Before unclogging and cleaning the drain, it is important to inspect it first in order to locate the source of the problem. Once determined, a high-pressure jet cleaning system is then used to remove any residues inside the drain. Uprooting can also be carried out when the surrounding vegetation is abundant.
