“Jake was wonderful! He answered the phone (rare these days) and listened to my concerns and was able to come out to the property the same day and remedy the issue! Very professional, fair price and quick. He was very helpful explaining how the sewer drain works and after he jetted the drain he sent us a video within minutes! I would give 10 stars to this company. I also loved that he gave a price over the phone! Great job and thank you!”
French drain cleaning
in Windermere, FL
Summer storms in Central Florida drop a lot of water fast. When a French drain stops carrying it away, it pools against the house or turns part of the lawn into a pond — and the fix is usually clearing what's already in the ground.

Signs you need french drains
Puddles that last a day after rain
Water sitting over the drain line means the pipe or its outlet isn't taking it.
Water pooling against the house
Standing water beside the slab is the kind you want moving away, fast.
Pool deck or patio flooding
Deck drains and low spots overflow when the lines under them are packed with sand.
Soggy, bare or mossy strips of lawn
A strip that never dries out is telling you where the water collects.
How a French drain works
A trench is lined with fabric, filled with washed gravel and a perforated pipe, and pitched toward a place the water can safely go. Water finds the gravel faster than it soaks through the surrounding ground and gets carried away.
Why they stop working
Sand, silt and roots work into the pipe over time, and the outlet gets buried or blocked. Jetting the line and clearing the outlet often brings an old system back to life — for far less than digging a new one.

“Jake was fast to come out, gave time updates of his arrival, professional, got the job done. Gave a good explanation about the problem, and has fair prices. Also was transparent about his pricing over the phone before even coming out (when two other companies refused to). No brainer, he's got my business. Highly recommend”
“Jake is amazing. My main line was clogged and backing up. I called Jake and he came out within one hour. He has the best price for this service and provides video of the pipe issues. This company should be your first call if you have clog.”
“Had sewer line inspected and cleaned from house to main line. Called in the morning, Jake came out same day. Work was completed efficiently and I was provided a post-cleaning video from camera scope.”
“I recently experienced a backed up drain in my home that required professional service. I found Jacob during a search and he reached out to me within minutes and luckily he was available. He was prompt and courteous, giving me an assessment of the problem and explained how he was going to resolve it. I was quoted a fair price up front and even though it took a little more effort and time, he stuck to that price. I did pay him more because I felt he deserved it for his time. Definitely recommend Water Snake Drain Service.”
“I looked at the reviews and I was convinced this was the service for us...This is a service which is reasonably priced for something you live with as a homeowner... slow water drains or occasionally water back that you believe requires drain cleaner.. the technician was efficient and clean while the camera proves the work is complete... The camera is a game changer.”
“Needed my storm drains cleared out, Jacob came out next day and cleared em out then went out of his way to make sure the drains exit was cleared and covered!”
“Helped me figure out exactly what was going on with my drain clog and got it handled quickly. Super knowledgeable, punctual, and pricing was very fair. Communication was solid the whole time and you can tell he knows his stuff. If you're dealing with any drain issues or a bad clog, I definitely recommend Water Snake Drain Service. Would use again for sure.”
“Fast, friendly, thorough, and affordable! Jake had the best rates for hydrojetting and came out the same day to clear the blockage in our drain. Very grateful he answered the call on a Sunday morning when many other places are closed. Can't recommend highly enough!”
French drains questions
Can you fix a French drain that stopped working?
Often. Many 'failed' French drains are clogged at the pipe or the outlet, and clearing them costs far less than digging in a new one.
Where does the water go?
To a lower part of the property, a dry well, or an existing storm drain connection where that's allowed. When we clear a system, we check that the outlet is open too.
Is it the drain or the grading?
If water sits right over the drain line after rain, the pipe or outlet is usually blocked. If it pools somewhere the drain doesn't reach, the yard may need more drainage. We'll tell you which.

Hydro jetting
High-pressure water scours grease, scale and roots off the pipe walls instead of just punching a hole through the clog.

A waterproof camera shows exactly what's in your line — roots, sags, breaks or buildup — and you keep the video.
