Why a Proper Drainage System Matters

A fully functional sump pump discharge line is just as crucial as the sump pump itself. This system moves excess water away from your home, preventing water damage, foundation issues, and yard flooding. However, a clogged, broken, or collapsed discharge line can lead to basement flooding, water pooling in your yard, and other costly problems. Our team specializes in drain inspections, repairs, and full line replacements to keep your home protected.

Our Drain Repair Process

We begin every clogged drain repair with a thorough inspection using a specialized camera to identify the obstruction. Depending on the severity, we offer different solutions:

Light blockage

A light blockage is debris that is hung up in the pipe and can be broken up and removed with a jetting.

Costs: We offer this service for $275.


Collapsed or Crushed Pipe

A collapsed, or crushed pipe happens for several reasons. Builders and cheap contractors install a thin wall pipe that is easily crushed. This can happen by a car wheel running over the curb or driveway and crushing the pipe underground. Heavy lawn mowers (zero turns) and skid steers (installing paver patios) in the yard crush these pipes all the time.

Costs: We replace damaged drainpipe at $30-$50 per linear foot for heavy duty schedule 40 PVC pipe with all underground joints solvent welded (glued).

Variables in the pricing will be in the size of the pipe (3” or 4”) and the difficulty of the excavation with nearby utilities, and large nearby roots.


Root intrusion

Roots loves water, and your underground drainpipes are a good source of that. Cheap thin wall pipe installed by builders and cheap contractors are not solvent welded (glued) underground, and the joints leak. The nearby roots chase this water through the leaky joint and into the pipe. Now they have a direct IV of nutrients, and they grow fast, throughout the pipe. The proper way to fix this is to excavate the damaged pipe, remove the roots, and install new. You do not always need a whole new pipe. We can locate where the root intrusion is, start excavation nearby, and replace only the damaged pipe.

Sprinkler line obstruction

Sprinkler systems are installed using a directional boring head. This tool bores through your yard and through most anything in its path, including your drainpipes. We often find sprinkler lines punched right through the middle of drainpipes.

Signs of a Clogged Drain


If you notice any of the following signs, your drain line may be clogged:

  • Water overflowing at the riser pipe where it meets the downspout.
  • Pooling water near your home’s foundation, mulch beds, or yard.
  • Dampness or flooding in your basement.
  • No water discharge at the drainpipe’s exit (curb hole, city storm system, or hillside pop-out).
