Driveway drain cleaning that prevents garage and basement flooding
Driveway drains and trench drains catch the water that would otherwise pool against the garage door. Keep them clear and the water keeps moving.
Service overview
What driveway drain cleaning actually solves
A driveway drain is the lowest point of the driveway and the first thing the water sees during a heavy rain. When leaves, sand, and mud fill the basin or the outlet line, the water has nowhere to go but into the garage or against the foundation.
Honest Drain pulls the grates, vacuums the basins, jets the outlet line, and confirms the drain ties into a working storm or daylight outlet.
