Frequently Asked Questions
Why is spring the best time for a French drain inspection?
Spring brings snowmelt and heavy rain, which stress your drainage system the most. It’s the ideal time to spot blockages, saturated soil, or weak sections before they cause water damage.
What does a French drain inspection involve?
The inspection evaluates the drain’s condition and performance. When possible, we use HD cameras to check for blockages, sludge buildup, roots, or damaged sections. After the inspection, you’ll receive clear recommendations on the next steps.

Not always. Access depends on your property setup (sump pit, outlet, cleanout, etc.). We confirm the best method during the call or on-site visit.
