Be prepared for El Nino Storms! Standing Water in Your Side Yard or Backyard? Hydro Jetting May Be the Solution!
Is water collecting in your side yard or backyard every time it rains?
If you have surface drains designed to carry rainwater away from your property and out to the street, a blockage may be preventing those drains from doing their job.
Over time, landscape surface drains can become clogged with minor roots, leaves, dirt, silt, mud, and other natural debris. When that material accumulates inside the drain lines, water cannot flow freely. The result can be standing water, soggy landscaping, muddy walkways, and areas of your yard that take too long to dry.
How Does Hydro Jetting Help?
Hydro jetting uses specialized equipment to direct pressurized water through a drain line. This process helps loosen and remove accumulated debris and minor roots, allowing the water to move through the drainage system more efficiently.
For landscape surface drains that discharge toward the street, hydro jetting can be an effective way to clear obstructions and restore proper drainage, provided the piping is in suitable condition.
Unlike simply clearing debris from a drain opening, hydro jetting can help address buildup farther inside the drain line, where leaves, sediment, and other material may be restricting the flow.
Why Is Proper Surface Drainage Important?
When surface drains are working properly, rainwater can move away from your home and landscaped areas instead of collecting in low spots. Keeping these drainage lines clear can help reduce persistent standing water and make your yard more usable after a rainstorm.
An important note: Hydro jetting is not appropriate for every drain. A licensed plumber can evaluate the drainage system, check for possible damage or blockages, and determine whether hydro jetting is a suitable solution. This can be performed by a camera inspection.
