French Drain Installation

Do you have standing water along the side of your home?

Not only is standing water an eyesore, but it is also a health hazard. Standing water can lead to the breeding of mosquitoes that can carry many infectious diseases. Is a french drain installation necessary for your home?

In many circumstances, a french drain will alleviate the standing water around your home. Some things that determine whether or not a french drain is a possible solution for you are:

1.) If a french drain is installed, do we have somewhere to take the water to?

2.) How much water is being funneled through the area?

Water flows down hill, and if there is no where for the water to drain to, then installing a french drain will not be suitable for your home. If you have a good grade on your yard, or another drain line that we can tie into, then a french drain might be a possible solution for you depending on how much water is in the area. A french drain can withstand about 2-3 feet of water on either side of it. Of which, it can take a few days to actually drain. The important thing is the water is actually draining. In the instance that there is too much water for the french drain to handle, then we may need to consider installing some catch basins at the low points to get more water into the drain line at a faster rate.

If you are still unsure as to whether or not a french drain is suitable for your home, then give us a call! We will send out our estimator to do an assessment to see if whether or not you are a qualified candidate for a french drain.

Underground drains,

“Priced right and Professional – I would recommend your services” Dana F

https://mygutterguy.com/french-drains/

Fixing a problem that you can’t see is a big problem for most. Because we know exterior drainage systems very well we can often make this task look easy. Years of experience in drain repair and the use of proper equipment for drain repair goes along way when it comes to getting a drain pipe cleaned or repaired.

If you are having a problem with an exterior drain give us a call so we can send the pros out and get the water to where it needs to go. Upon your request we will send a crew out on a service call to spend up to 2 man hours to trouble shoot/clean your drains, or do drain repair with our specialized equipment to determine the problem and/or fix the problem. If two man hours is not enough time to complete the required work or check the entire system we can stay longer for an additional cost. If the service call doesn’t fix the problem then we will use the knowledge gained throughout the service call to provide an accurate estimate for the additional work required to fix the problem and we will credit a portion of the service call fee toward the repairs if the customer elects to have the work preformed.

Service calls and any other additional work is always invoiced separately so you know exactly what you are getting into each step of the way. Feel free to give us a call at 614-989-3326 if you would like to request a drain service, drain repair or have any questions.

Drain Camera Inspections and drain locating

Here at Professional Gutter and Drain, have heard through the community that most national chain rooter companies only send a one man crew out with a cleaning machine. Often leaving you with more questions than they answered. Unlike many of these national chain rooter companies, we send a two-man crew with a fully equipped truck. When we find the problem, we are happy to dig and complete spot repairs when possible. We do everything possible to ensure that your drain lines are running properly and efficiently. Ultimately, what this does is ensures you the best possible price, and leaves a peace in mind that we are here to take care of you.

Our underground drain division has a “state of the art” color self leveling drain camera. We use this to inspect, trouble shoot and locate drains. We then have the ability to show the customer the problem so they can see it first hand. Many home owners like to have the “peace of mind” that their drains are clear and functioning properly. If you solely want a drain camera inspection completed on your drain system we are happy to send a crew out and upon request will DVR the inspection if you provide us with a SD card or flash drive. If you would like us to come out and mark your yard where the drains are located we can do that as well. Drain Camera inspections are set up as a service call and can be requested by simply giving us a call. Feel free to call 614-989-3326 for more information and current pricing/scheduling on our drain camera inspections.
