Here's something we see a lot in Oregon City - a gutter drain that's been ignored long enough to pack itself solid with debris. Twigs, dirt, decomposed organic material all wedged right into the drain opening. At that point, water has nowhere to go, and it backs up wherever it can.
That's exactly what we were dealing with here. The drain was completely choked at the entry point. No amount of rinsing with a garden hose was going to fix this one. It needed real equipment and someone who knows how to clear a line properly without just pushing the clog further down.
We used hydro-jetting to blast through the buildup and flush the line clean. Hydro-jetting works by sending a high-pressure stream of water through the drain line. It doesn't just punch a hole through the clog - it scours the pipe walls and clears everything out. The difference between a drain that's "kind of working" and one that flows the way it should is night and day.
This is one of those services that homeowners in Oregon City often put off until there's a real problem. Standing water near your foundation, overflow at the drain basin, soggy ground that won't dry out - those are all signs that a gutter or surface drain needs attention. Catching it early is always the better play.
