Preventing a Clogged Yard Drain
If your yard drain continuously gets clogged, you may want to consider regular maintenance. You can do this yourself by inspecting your yard drains on a regular basis. Check for any leaves, a buildup of grass, twigs, and other debris at the catch basin and where it leads. By clearing these areas, you can reduce the chance of debris entering the drain. As a result, your drain will not experience as many clogs. You can also clean out your drain with your own water hose. Do this every few weeks to prevent any major buildup of debris inside. You’ll want to be careful of the fall season, where leaves will start to collect, and the summer, where grass clippings will accumulate.
