Philadelphia's Dedicated Exterior Drain Service

Outdoor drainage problems are a different challenge than a slow kitchen sink. They call for different tools, different training, and a team that works on them every day. At Zoom Drain of Philadelphia, drain and sewer services are all we do. For Philadelphia property owners dealing with pooling driveways, waterlogged yards, or backed-up catch basins, that focused approach makes a real difference.

Philadelphia averages more than 40 inches of rain each year, and the city’s combined sewer system serves roughly 60 percent of Philadelphia, routing both stormwater and wastewater through the same pipes. During heavy storms, that system can slow or reverse flow through connected outdoor drains. Well-maintained exterior drains on your property are the first line of defense against that pressure reaching your foundation or yard.

Our Trusted Technicians are licensed, insured, and available 24/7 for exterior drain emergencies. Call (215) 584-4436 to schedule service or get help today.

Exterior Drain Types We Service in Philadelphia

Exterior drainage systems vary by property type and layout. We service all of the following for both residential and commercial customers in Philadelphia as part of our Exterior Drain Services:

  • Driveway & Trench Drains (Channel Drains): Redirect surface runoff from paved areas. Blockages can cause standing water that can undermine driveways and sidewalks over time.
  • French Drains: Redirect groundwater away from foundations. These are particularly important in Philadelphia’s older rowhouse and rowhome stock, where basement water intrusion is a common concern.
  • Catch Basins: Collect water in low-lying areas of a property. Without regular cleaning, debris buildup can lead to overflow during storm events.
  • Downspout Drains: Carry gutter runoff away from the foundation. A blocked downspout drain is one of the most common contributors to basement flooding.
  • Landscape Drains: Protect yards and gardens from waterlogging and soil erosion. See our dedicated Landscape Drain Services page for details.
  • Storm Drains: Handle high-volume runoff from large paved areas and require capacity maintenance ahead of Philadelphia’s spring and summer storm season.

Our dedicated Driveway Drain Cleaning service page covers driveway and trench drain work in full detail. Services across all drain types include full cleanouts, clog removal, and ongoing maintenance programs for properties that want to stay ahead of the next storm.

I’ll have to keep an eye on it until I have this section of pipe replaced.
