Outdoor Drain Cleaning

Serving Portland OR | Beaverton OR | Clackamas OR | Vancouver WA

As a business owner, you may also be in charge of having to maintain and clean out the debris that accumulates in the catch basin. If it gets clogged, the debris inside will likely hinder the flow of water, which will start to accumulate and move into the street. Obviously, that can cause a problem and could become a hazard for motorists, other businesses, and pedestrians who are near your property.

• Storm Drains: Storm drains prevent flooding, standing water, and damage to the asphalt. Clogged storm drains can result in significant flooding during heavy storms, leaving the business liable for damages. Regular storm drain cleaning can prevent these problems.
• Gutter and Downspout Drains: Gutters, downspouts, and drains can become clogged very quickly if not maintained seasonally. Leaves and other debris can create blockages that can even flood the building during heavy rainfall.
• French Drains: Typically used in areas where conventional drains would be difficult to maintain, french drains are a great option for landscape drainage. While french drains are less prone to clogging than conventional drain systems, they do need regular maintenance to prevent water back-up and potential clog-forming situations.
• Drain Pipe Outlets: Even with the most sophisticated drain system, you’ll have to install outlets for the water to drain somewhere, either off your property or into a drainage ditch. These outlets will also need to be cleaned seasonally, to prevent any debris from backing up into the pipe.
• Catch Basin Drains: Catch basins are installed underneath the steel grates that line curbs, streets, and sidewalks. They need to be cleaned fairly frequently because they catch fallen leaves, food wrappers, and other debris.
• Patio and Deck Drains: These drains are used around pools and on decks, to drain water from the surface. The water is funneled into a pipe, which keeps water away from a house or other structure.
• Walkway and Driveway Drains: These outdoor drains are placed along the sides of walkways or driveways, and are used to keep water away from buildings and off of the asphalt.
• Area Drains: These drains can be placed throughout your landscape. They allow any excess water in your landscaping or property to drain without causing flooding, and they need to be cleaned periodically.
