When do I need a French drain cleaning?

The purpose of the French drain is to drain and evacuate the accumulation of water around your home’s foundation to prevent water infiltration. The water collected by the French drain will be directed to a safe place, but only if it’s working efficiently! In the presence of iron ochre, French drain cleaning is recommended at least every 2 years, while in normal situations it’s suggested every 5 years.

Is your drain no longer working properly?
Rest assured, our team will perform the necessary tests to find the cause of the problem.

How can you tell if a French drain is clogged?

  • A visible efflorescence band at the base of the foundation wall inside the basement is caused by the presence of eminent water and may indicate a non-functioning drain.
  • Water flow in the sewer system is not optimal.
  • Water has trouble draining from the various plumbing fixtures.
  • The presence of water underground, particularly during snowmelt and after heavy rainfall.
  • Black stains on finished basement walls, usually caused by excessive humidity, often due to water infiltration in the foundation walls.

Iron ochre under your foundation?

Certain types of soil containing iron, mainly sandy soils, can produce a pasty deposit called iron ochre.

Without maintenance, the French drain will accumulate a growing deposit in which the proliferation of bacteria associated with iron ochre catalyzes the problem until it clogs the drain completely.

In some cases, new French drains can become blocked within a few years.

It is therefore necessary to treat iron ochre by cleaning the French drain annually, or at least every 2 years.
