French Drain Cleaning & Repair Services in Houston, TX
Over time, French drains can become clogged with mud, roots, or yard debris or even collapse due to improper installation or soil shifting. When that happens, water stops draining properly, and you're left with soggy lawns, standing water, and costly property damage.
713 French Drains provides professional French drain cleaning and repair services in Houston to keep your yard drainage system working like it should. Whether your drain needs a full flush-out or a targeted repair, we'll restore proper flow and protect your property from water damage.
What Is a Drain Clean Out?
A drain clean out involves flushing or snaking the perforated drain pipe and gravel trench to remove blockages that have built up over time. Depending on the severity of the clog, the process may include hydro-jetting to blast away stubborn debris, root removal to clear invasive tree roots, and clearing clogged filter fabric that has become saturated with sediment.
Drain repair refers to fixing broken, collapsed, or improperly installed sections of your drainage system. This can involve re-sloping pipes to restore proper water flow, replacing damaged or crushed pipes, restoring gravel beds, upgrading outdated pipe to modern materials, and adding clean-out access points for easier future maintenance.

Signs Your French Drain Needs Cleaning
If you notice any of the following warning signs on your property, it may be time to schedule a professional drain cleaning:
- Water pooling around downspouts after rain
- Drains that are not moving water like they used to
- Gurgling sounds or slow drainage from outdoor drains
- Soggy spots or soft ground in your yard
- Overflowing catch basins during storms
- Water backing up near your foundation
Ignoring these signs can lead to foundation damage, landscape erosion, and costly repairs down the road. The sooner you address a clogged drain, the less damage it can cause.
How Our French Drain Cleaning Service Works
Our four-step process gets your drainage system thoroughly cleaned, repaired, and ready to handle Houston's heavy rains:
Inspection & Flow Test
We start by inspecting your entire drainage system and running flow tests to identify exactly where blockages or damage exist.
Cleaning & Flushing
Using high-pressure tools and professional-grade equipment, we flush out mud, roots, debris, and sediment to restore full water flow.
French Drain Repair
Most French drain repair work is localized: a crushed pipe section, a failed outlet, or a collapsed basin. We fix the damaged section and upgrade components without redoing the whole line.
System Evaluation
After cleaning and repairs, we evaluate the entire system to confirm everything is draining properly and recommend any preventive maintenance.
