Looking for a local company that can take on your drain services? Here are three key qualities of a reputable drain service company.

Why You Should Get Your Exterior Drains Checked with a Camera Scope Today, let's dive into a topic that often goes overlooked but can save you a ton of headaches down the road: checking your exterior drains (i.e., downspouts, surface drains, sump pump drain, etc.) with a camera scope. You might be wondering, “What’s the big deal?” Well, let me break it down for you. First off, the main benefit of this service is that it provides you with video proof of how your drainage system is functioning (or not functioning!) You get to see exactly what’s going on down there, and trust me, it’s worth it! You’ll not only find out whether your drains are draining correctly, but you’ll also learn where those drains go and how they’re connected to one another. This is invaluable information that most property owners don’t have, and it can really come in handy when issues arise. At Drain My Yard, we call this our Healthy Drain Program. If snow melt or rain leads to a puddle forming in your yard, the last thing you want is to be left in the dark about what’s causing the problem. By having your drains inspected, you can take proactive measures before things get out of hand. That camera scope can spot potential issues before they escalate—like a broken pipe or a serious clog—allowing you to address them effectively. Or, the camera scan gives your drainage pipes a clean bill of health! Additionally, when you have this service done through our Healthy Drain Program, you’re also given a map of where all your drain pipes are located on your property. This is a game changer, especially if you ever need to do yard work or before digging for any reason. Knowing where your pipes are can save you from accidentally damaging them, which could result in costly repairs. In the unfortunate event that you do have a broken pipe or a stubborn clog, you now have precise information at your fingertips. You’ll know exactly where the issue is, which allows you to determine the best course of action for repairs. Whether you handle the fix yourself, or you call in Drain My Yard, having that knowledge makes all the difference. So, if you haven’t had your exterior drains inspected with a camera scope yet, now’s the time to consider it! You’ll equip yourself with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your drainage system is functioning correctly—and if not, you’ll know exactly what needs to be done. If you'd like to schedule a drain inspection or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Drain My Yard at 330.678.9554. Let’s ensure your drainage system is ready to handle whatever Mother Nature throws at it! Remember, a little preventive maintenance goes a long way in protecting your home. Happy draining!
