Landscape Drain Cleaning Maintenance Hydro Jetting

Don't forget to test your landscape drains yearly.  It's very important to keep on top of what is draining and what is not. Be proactive.  It's very simple to test your drains.  Just run a hose at full volume into each drain starting closest to the outflow, usually located at the curb.  Then work back going away from the outflow.  See what works and what doesn't.  Make sure the water is actually leaving at the outlet as fast as it's going in.  If you have drains that are not working or if your main out-flowing line is not working, I strongly recommend hydro jetting.  It will not damage the thinwall plastic pipe usually used in landscape drain installations. If left unchecked you can easily end up with a line that is impossible to clean and requires digging and replacement.  If that happens to be under concrete, that could be very expensive.
