Our Process for Unclogging Underground Drains
When our skilled team unclogs underground drains, they use an electric snake. This tool allows them to clear the underground clog using electricity from our own power generator.
However, not all attempts to clear underground drains are successful. Sometimes, drains will collapse over time, or roots grow through the drain, preventing any possibility of successfully cleaning the drain. However, we can still help by removing the leader pipe that connects to the drain and adding an above-ground extension at no additional cost.
5 Top Signs of a Clogged Underground Gutter Drain
While it may seem like it would be difficult to determine if an underground drain was clogged, there are actually some simple signs to look out for.
Water Pooling
The most obvious sign of a clogged underground drain is if there is water pooling around your underground drains, downspouts, or foundation. It indicates that there is something preventing the water from going where it should. Since it can’t, it is forced back the way it came in, which leads to water pooling.
Overflows at the Downspout Connection
Typically, where there are underground drains, there are downspouts that are connected to them by various adapters. These adapters allow water to pass swiftly and smoothly from one pipe to another and prevent water from leaking out from the joints and extensions. If you see water being pushed back out from the drainage pipe or the seams on the adaptors, that is generally a good sign that there is a clog.
Since the water isn’t able to flow down and out correctly, it backs up inside the downspout pipes and starts to leak from the joints and seams. Fortunately, our team of technicians provide reputable underground gutter drain snaking services for homeowners in Philadelphia, PA and will help you prevent water leaks near the adapters on your downspouts.
Moisture Damage in Your Basement
When downspouts and drains are clogged, water tends to pool around the base of the house. This can deteriorate the integrity of the foundation as water can leak into the basement or crawl space.
Check for water in those spaces or signs of water damage, like:
- Rot
- Warping
- Dampness
- Mold
Gutters Overflowing
Gutters overflowing is an indication of a clogged underground drain. When an underground drain becomes clogged, it backs up and has nowhere else to go, causing the gutters to overflow. When the gutters overflow, they can cause water to pool on the roof, which in turn makes your home vulnerable to leaks and water damage.
While gutter overflow can be a sign of a clogged underground drain, it isn’t always. The gutters themselves could be clogged or damaged. Be sure to rule out clogs in the gutters before considering a clogged underground drain.
Water Leaks from the Seams
If you see water spraying or leaking from the joints and seams of your drainage system, that is a definite sign of a clog in your underground drain. It’s essential to get them repaired before water pools around the house or damages the gutters and downspouts.
