Is it the French drain, or the main drain?

A musty wall after rain points to the French drain. If the toilet or floor drain is coming up, that is a sanitary backup. Guessing costs more than filming the line.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Tell us the issue, then book

    Tell us if water comes in after rain along the walls, or if a fixture is backing up. Then book the time slot.

  2. Step 2

    We check the flow

    We see how the water is moving and where the clog is. If something is blocking the pipe, we unclog it first.

  3. Step 3

    We film, then we hydrojet

    We film in the pipe to see what is blocking the flow. Then we hydrojet the inside of the pipe.

  4. Step 4

    We film the clean pipe

    We film again after the cleaning. You see the clean pipe and that the blockage is gone.

See what's blocking before you clean

Same-day when a window is open. You approve the estimate before any extra work.

Is the French drain clogged?

See whether sediment, roots, or another blockage is stopping water from draining around the foundation.

Is the line damaged?

Identify cracks, displaced sections, or collapse that need repair rather than another cleaning pass.

Where is the problem located?

We pinpoint the affected stretch so cleaning or repair targets the real problem, not the whole yard.

Do we dig right away?

We unclog if something is blocking the pipe. We film to see what is blocking the flow, then hydrojet. Excavation is estimated separately.

Homeowners who had water in the basement

What customers say after we found the cause and cleaned or repaired the line.

HydroGo was an absolute pleasure to work with. After basement flooding issues, they solved the problem by installing a main drain backwater valve.

HydroGo completed a complicated drain cleaning job in a very tight crawl space in my basement. Everything works perfectly now. Excellent service.

Don't clean on a guess

Waiting it out or excavating first often costs more than seeing the line on camera.

Response

  • Hope the basement dries and the next rain isn't as bad...

  • Inspect now so you know if the French drain is clogged.

Work order

  • Excavate before you know which stretch is the problem...

  • We unclog first if the pipe is blocked. We film to see what is blocking the flow, then hydrojet.

Chemicals

  • Pour drain cleaner and hope it reaches the foundation line...

  • Hydrojetting only if the camera shows a clearable clog.

Questions about water in the basement

What a French drain camera inspection shows, and when we can hydrojet.

Is water in the basement always a French drain problem?

Not always. It can be a clogged French drain, a main drain backup, grading, or something else. Camera inspection shows what's actually happening underground. For melt-season maintenance, read how we clean a French drain.

Will a French drain camera inspection tell me the cause?

Yes. We run an HD camera through the foundation drainage line, record video, and explain the findings so you aren't guessing.

Do I need excavation right away?

Usually no. Many problems can be cleaned or repaired once we know the location and condition of the line.
