Area Drain Cleaning
Area drains, also known as yard drains, are quite common. They’re used on properties that have an underground swimming pool or extensive landscaping. Area drains work similar to your bathtub drain and they help prevent your yard from flooding. However, as with other drains, area drains can clog too. D&F Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling cleans and services area drains!
Our Service Areas
No worries! We service the surrounding areas as well.
How Does a Yard Drain Work?
Area drains consist of an underground catch basin covered by a grate. Runoff water is directed to the yard drain and then flows to a municipal storm drain, a nearby street or a dry well. Area drains may also be designed to direct water to a drainage field or retaining area.
Signs Your Area Drain is Clogged
Just like your indoor drains, area drains can also get clogged. Though outdoor flooding may not seem like a big deal, it can lead to indoor leaking and extensive property damage. Knowing when to call a plumber for a cleaning service will help you prevent the major issues associated with a backup. Below are the most common signs your area drain has a clog.
- Pooling water on your property
- Backups and overflows
- Smelly odors from your yard drain

WHY CHOOSE US?
“We had D&F replace a kitchen faucet at a rental we own in SE Portland. Teena was terrific on the phone, getting us scheduled quickly, and Tyler showed up on time and did a great job. Throughout, communication was excellent. We would recommend them to anyone, and will definitely use them again both at the rental and at our own house.”
Ethan S.
“I called D and F to help me figure out how to turn the water back on that was accidentally turned off. They were supposed to call me back, but instead showed up within minutes and fixed the problem free of charge. I’m very happy with how they handled this issue and I’ll definitely be using them on the next job.”

D&F is the plumbing company I’ll use and I recommend them to everyone.”

Area Drain Cleaning Maintenance
We recommend having your yard drain serviced at least once a year, especially in the fall because this is a time when leaves will start to clog your drainage system. If your roof gutters and downspouts connect with your area drain, they’ll need cleaning too. Avoiding drainage maintenance can often lead to severe clogs and costly repairs later. At D&F Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, we service and clean drains of all types including area drains and gutters and downspouts. We’re your one-stop for all plumbing needs.
