Clogged Drain Pipe Replacement in North America

Why Do Footing Drain Pipes Clog?

When rainwater seeps into the ground and gathers up against the basement wall, footing drains drive them away from the foot of the basement. Then there are particles in the soil and mud that enter the drain along with the water. These particles form layers of sediment over time. At one point, they block the waterway and the drainage system is no longer effective in removing the water from the foot of the basement.

Usually, a simple clean-up is performed to free the clogged drain off that sediment layer; however, the footing drains provided by the contractors of Next Level Restoration Group are already designed with a fiber filter technology that prevents fine particles in the soil from entering the drain. Therefore, it is in your best interest to have your clogged drain pipe replaced with a new one installed by our team of experts.

Additional Problems of Clogged Drain Pipes

• More risks of cracks - a clogged drain means water is not being drained and all that water puts pressure on the foundation wall, resulting in cracks.
• Prone to water leaks - when the water has nowhere to go, it forces itself inside the basement through even the smallest holes and crevices.
• Warped walls - immense water pressure can warp the basement wall in or out, this affects the integrity of the house itself.
• More risk of molds - with the water going nowhere, all the moisture seeps in the basement that encourages mold growth that can highly affect the health of the family members.
