Storm Drain, Lawn Drain & Yard Drain Cleaning
Outdoor drains cleared of leaves, soil, roots, mulch, and sediment so rainwater moves away from your home or business instead of pooling.
Yard drains, lawn drains, and storm drains are your property's defense against standing water. When they fill with leaves, mulch, soil, and roots, rain has nowhere to go, and it can pool against the foundation, flood low spots, or wash out landscaping. We clean outdoor drainage lines so they can do their job again.
Signs you need storm, lawn & yard drain cleaning
- Water pools in the yard long after it stops raining

Why outdoor drains clog
Every storm washes debris toward your drains: leaves, pine needles, grass clippings, mulch, soil, and sand. Roots also seek out the moisture inside drain lines. Over a season or two, a drain that worked fine can be completely packed.
Clean them before the heavy rain
The best time to clear outdoor drains is before you need them. Our preventive drain cleaning service is designed for exactly that: clearing drain lines ahead of the rainy season to help reduce the risk of flooding.
If underground water lines, hose bibs, or other outdoor plumbing need attention, see outdoor plumbing repair.
What to expect
Inspect
We check grates, catch basins, and outlets to see where flow stops.
Clear debris
We remove leaves, soil, and mulch from basins and openings.
Clean the line
We clear roots and packed sediment from the underground drain line.
Flow test
We run water through to confirm it drains to the outlet.
Tips to prevent problems
- Clear leaves off drain grates after storms and in the fall
- Keep mulch and soil edging away from drain openings
- Check that downspout extensions are attached and not crushed
- Have drains cleared before the rainy season
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my yard drain is clogged?
If water pools near the drain, the grate is full of debris, or water doesn't come out the other end of the line during rain, it's likely clogged.
Can roots get into yard drains?
Yes. Corrugated and older drain pipes are especially easy for roots to enter. We can cut roots out of the line.
Do you clean storm drains for businesses?
Yes. We clean storm drains and catch basins for residential and commercial properties.
