Maintaining your landscape drains

Maintaining your landscape drains is an important part of your landscaping program. 90% of landscape drains we encounter that are still draining are more than 50% full of silt and foreign material! Keeping them clean and free flowing helps to protect your investment in yourhome by greatly reducing the potential for water damage to your foundation. It also promotes healthy plant and grass growth by eliminating over-saturation of the soil.

Jetting is a procedure that uses specially designed equipment to clean the interior surfaces of your drain lines to allow maximum drainage efficiency.

Cleaning your landscape drains with a jetter is also environmentally friendly. Since all of the work is being done with a high-pressure, low volume (4 gallons/minute) stream of water, there are no chemicals used to assist in the cleaning.

A jetter is a high-powered, gasoline engine driven water pump that discharges
water with tremendous force through a precision machined nozzle. This water
“jet” breaks through dirt and sediment that has collected over time in your landscape
drain lines and reduced their ability to do what they were designed to do…
drain excess water away from your foundation and property.

This, of course, means that no chemicals are being discharged into our waterways. We also set up barricades that trap the larger material (rocks, pebbles, silt, plant material) that are removed from your drain lines to prevent them from getting into the waterways as well.
