Signs Your Deck Drainage System Needs Cleaning
- There is standing water

- You smell odors near your drainage system
Why is Patio and Deck Drain Cleaning So Important?
If your deck is draining poorly, water will begin to pool on your patio surface which can lead to several consequences including:
- Ruining the integrity of your patio or deck; whether wood or concrete
discoloration - Creating a slick surface which is a safety hazard for pedestrians and/or customers
- Moss or mildew growth
- Allowing water to seep into your basement or crawlspace
- Soil erosion
It’s also important to keep in mind that if your deck is on the second story and it’s draining poorly, water could wreak havoc on your home beneath.

Types of Patio and Deck Drains
Ever found yourself doing the slip-n-slide on your patio after a drizzle? The options for patio floor drains are vast, and there’s a solution for every soggy situation. Let’s dive into some of the most popular types that’ll keep your outdoor spaces puddle-free, even on the rainiest Portland day!
Patio Floor Drain
This is the superhero of the patio world! A patio floor drain is a specially designed drainage system embedded into patio surfaces to swiftly whisk standing water away. It typically resembles a grated inlet, allowing water to flow through while preventing debris and larger objects from entering, ensuring a dry and safe patio area.
Floor Drain for Concrete Patio
Concrete patios, while sturdy and durable, can turn into mini ponds without proper drainage. Enter the floor drain for concrete patio. Specifically crafted for our concrete jungles, this drain ensures that water doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s a robust, flat-surfaced drain, often with a sleek metal grate on top. It seamlessly blends with the concrete, ensuring rapid water runoff without causing any trip hazards. It’s always working to keep your concrete patio dry, even after a classic Pacific Northwest downpour!
Patio Walkway Deck Drain
For those who’ve got a fancy walkway connecting their patio and deck, the patio walkway deck drain is your best bud. It ensures that your path remains clear and puddle-free, making your walk from the grill to the deck a breeze.
How to Maintain Your Patio and Deck Drains
If you’re looking to avoid the “Great Flood” on your deck during Portland’s unpredictable rain showers, then you’ll need some drain-maintenance magic to keep your outdoor spaces as dry as a stand-up comedian’s humor. Here are a few maintenance tips for your patio and deck drains:
- Regular Clean-Up: Just like you wouldn’t let your coffee machine get all gunked up, regularly check your drains for leaves, twigs, and the occasional lost toy.
