Honest and trustworthy technicians. They inspected our basement foundation dampness and accurately determined it was exterior condensation drainage rather than an active pressurized pipe rupture, avoiding costly repairs.

Yard Drain Cleaning In Broomfield Co
Standing water that lingers for days after rain, downspouts that pool at the foundation, and catch basins buried under leaves all point to the same system: your yard drainage. Our yard drain cleaning service restores the surface drains, French drains, downspout lines, and catch basins that carry stormwater away from your home. We trace each drain’s path, flush out the sediment, roots, and debris choking it, and test flow with water until every line runs clear. Clean drainage protects foundations, keeps crawl spaces dry, and ends the swampy patches that never dry. Calls are answered around the clock, with 30–45 minute arrival across Broomfield.

What Our Yard Drain Cleaning Service Covers
Yard drainage is a chain — gutters to downspouts to underground lines to daylight or storm tie-in. A blockage anywhere in that chain shows up as water where it should not be. We service every link.
Surface Drain Clearing
Grated area drains in patios, driveways, and low spots collect leaves and silt until they seal shut. We clear the grate and the line below, then confirm water actually leaves the area.
French Drain Flushing
Perforated pipes wrapped in fabric move groundwater away from foundations — until silt or roots clog the perforations. Flushing restores flow without digging up the trench.
Downspout Line Clearing
Underground downspout extensions carry roof water far from the house, but they clog with shingle grit and debris. We clear the full run and verify discharge at the outlet.
Catch Basin Service
Catch basins trap sediment before it enters the drainage system, which means they need periodic emptying. We remove the accumulated muck and check the outlet pipe for blockages.
Drainage Flow Testing
After clearing, we run water through the system and watch every outlet. A drain is only done when we have seen it flow — not when the tools come out of the truck.

Warning Signs
Problems That Point To Yard Drain Cleaning
Each of these yard drain cleaning symptoms has a specific cause our instruments can confirm. If you recognize your yard drain cleaning symptom below, the next step is a diagnostic visit — not guesswork.
Standing Water Days After Rain
Puddles that remain 48 hours after a storm mean water has nowhere to go. Blocked yard drains turn every rainfall into a lingering pond.
Downspout Water Pools At The Base
If roof water gushes out and sits against the foundation, the underground extension is clogged or disconnected. Foundation dampness follows.
Catch Basin Full Of Debris
A basin packed with leaves and sediment cannot trap anything — debris passes straight into the lines. Overflowing basins during rain are the visible symptom.
Soggy Strip Along The Foundation
Persistently wet soil hugging the house suggests drainage is failing to carry water away. Left alone, it becomes basement or crawl space moisture.
Mulch And Soil Wash Away
Erosion channels and displaced mulch show water moving across the surface instead of through the drains. The drainage path has lost its capacity.
Basement Dampness After Storms
Water appearing in a basement only after rain usually arrives via failed exterior drainage, not plumbing. Cleaning the yard drains often ends the cycle.
Our Process
How We Pinpoint It, Step By Step
We follow the water from where it falls to where it should leave, clearing each link and proving flow before we call it done.
Step 01
Walk The Drainage Path
We trace your system from gutters and downspouts through surface drains, French drains, and catch basins to the final outlet — mapping what exists before touching anything.
Step 02
Test Flow With Water
Running water through each section reveals exactly which links are blocked and which flow freely. Diagnosis takes minutes and prevents clearing the wrong line.
Step 03
Clear Each Blockage
Leaves, sediment, shingle grit, and root intrusions are flushed or extracted section by section. We work from upstream to downstream so debris never gets pushed deeper.
Step 04
Verify Every Outlet
Water goes back through the full system while we watch each outlet discharge. You see every drain flowing before we pack up — the visit ends with proof, not promises.
Why Choose Us
Why Broomfield Trusts Us With Yard Drain Cleaning
Yard drainage looks simple until you have chased a blockage through forty feet of buried pipe. With 25 years in Broomfield, we know how local systems are typically laid out — and how they typically fail.
We Have 25 Years Of ExperienceA quarter century keeping Broomfield yards draining through every storm season.
Flow Proven, Not AssumedEvery drain is water-tested at its outlet before we consider the job done.
Honest About LimitsIf a line is crushed or has nowhere to discharge, we say so instead of selling a cleaning.
We Arrive In 30–45 MinutesDrainage emergencies answered 24/7 with rapid local dispatch.
Most drainage calls we answer were “fixed” before by clearing only the visible grate while the real blockage sat twenty feet downstream. We test flow through the entire run, so the fix holds through the next storm, not just the next afternoon. We also tell you honestly when cleaning is not enough — a crushed line or a system with no outlet needs a different solution, and we will say so rather than sell you a flushing that cannot work.

Pro Tips
Tips From Working Leak Specialists
Simple habits that keep yard drains working between professional cleanings.
Clean Gutters Before Storm Season
Gutters dump their debris load straight into downspout lines. Clean gutters mean clean underground extensions — the two systems are one chain.
Extend Downspouts Past The Foundation
Water should discharge several feet from the house, not at its base. Short extensions are the most common cause of foundation-adjacent pooling we see.
Rake Debris Off Drain Grates
A two-minute rake of leaves off area-drain grates each fall prevents the surface seal that starts most blockages. Grates are designed to be maintained, not buried.
Watch For New Low Spots
Soil settles and creates new collection points over time. A puddle that appears where none existed deserves attention before the next heavy rain.
Never Bury A Drain Without An Outlet
Every buried line must daylight somewhere or tie into storm infrastructure. A line to nowhere just relocates the puddle underground.
Check Basins After Big Storms
One heavy storm can fill a catch basin with a season’s worth of sediment. A quick look after major weather keeps the system ahead of the next downpour.

FAQs
Yard Drain Cleaning Questions, Answered
Watch what water does after rain. Puddles lingering more than a day or two, downspouts pooling at the foundation, mulch washing away, or a catch basin overflowing all signal blockages. Our flow test then pinpoints exactly which section is choked.
A French drain is a perforated pipe in a gravel trench that collects groundwater and carries it away. Silt works through the fabric wrap and seals the perforations, or roots invade seeking moisture. Flushing restores flow without excavating the trench in most cases.
Yes — this is one of the most common calls we answer. Shingle grit and debris accumulate in buried extensions until roof water backs up at the foundation. We clear the full run and verify discharge at the outlet.
Often, yes — when the moisture arrives only after rain, failed exterior drainage is the usual cause and restoring flow ends the cycle. If dampness persists in dry weather, the source is likely plumbing or groundwater, and we help you determine which.
Around-the-clock answering with 30–45 minute emergency arrival anywhere in Broomfield. When water is actively threatening your foundation, call (720) 715-9734 — drainage emergencies jump the queue.
Yes — we serve all of Broomfield including the 80020, 80021, 80023, and 80038 ZIP codes.
Most systems benefit from attention each fall after leaves drop, plus a check after unusually heavy storms. Properties with many trees or long buried runs may need it more often — the flow test tells us.
Persistent water against the foundation is one of the most common causes of basement dampness and, over time, foundation stress. Drainage exists precisely to prevent that contact — which is why lingering puddles deserve prompt attention.
