Do you know what underground drains are? They should be checked every time you clean gutters. Almost all homes have gutters (they catch the water across the top of the house near the roof line) and leaders (they carry the water down the house to the ground). Leader pipes often go into underground drains.

If a customer maintains their underground drains regularly they will prolong the life of their foundation. A house will typically have two drains but can have as many as five. Underground drains can go under patios, walkways, driveways and lawns leading to the street or to a drywell. A drywell is a pit of crushed stone buried under the lawn.

Ned Stevens has an expert underground drain service. We use an electric snake to attempt to clear the underground. We won’t even use your electric. All of our technicians have a gas powered generator to power the snake.

Not all snakings are successful. Sometimes the drain has collapsed or roots have grown through it preventing any possibility of success. In these situations we would still help alleviate the problem by removing the leader pipe and adding an above ground extension (as shown) at no additional cost!
