Sump & Storm Drain Maintenance
Protect Your Home from Flooding — We Clear the Way!
When heavy rain hits Saskatoon or snow begins to melt, your sump pump and storm drains are your home’s first defense against flooding. These hidden systems quietly work to keep your basement dry and your property protected — until they fail.
Clogged drains, overworked pumps, or frozen discharge lines can cause serious water damage. That’s why Drainrite Sewer & Drain Cleaning Co. provides expert sump and storm drain maintenance throughout Saskatoon and area — keeping your system clear, reliable, and ready for any season.
Why Sump & Storm Drain Maintenance Matters
Your drainage systems are designed to manage water before it becomes a problem.
– Sump pumps collect groundwater and pump it safely away from your foundation.
– Storm drains collect surface water, melting snow, and rain from your yard and driveway.
Without regular maintenance, these systems can become clogged with dirt, debris, and sediment. The result? Pooling water, foundation cracks, mold, and expensive flooding repairs.
Common problems we see across Saskatoon homes:
– Clogged or slow-flowing storm drains
– Failing sump pump motors or switches
– Frozen discharge lines
– Poor grading or surface drainage
– Silt and debris in sump pits
Regular inspections and cleaning help prevent these issues before they cause damage — protecting your home and extending your equipment’s life.
Our Sump & Storm Drain Maintenance Services
At Drainrite, we take pride in doing the job right — not just a quick check. Our complete service includes inspection, cleaning, and testing to ensure your system works when it matters most.
1. Sump Pump Inspection & Cleaning
We check every detail of your sump system, including:
– Pump performance and float switch
– Power source and check valve
– Sump pit condition and debris removal
– Discharge line flow test
We also offer battery backup sump pump installations to protect your basement during power outages.
2. Storm Drain Cleaning
Outdoor storm drains collect leaves, sand, and debris over time — restricting flow. Using professional hydro-jetting and vacuum equipment, we clear your drains and restore proper function.
We also inspect for damaged or collapsed drain lines and recommend solutions to prevent future blockages.
3. Discharge Line & Downspout Maintenance
A working sump pump can’t do much if the discharge line is frozen or blocked. Our technicians inspect and clear all discharge lines and downspouts to ensure proper drainage away from your foundation.
For winter protection, we can install freeze-prevention attachments or reroute lines for better flow.
4. Preventive Maintenance Plans
Don’t wait for a flood to find out there’s a problem. Drainrite offers annual or semi-annual maintenance programs for your sump and storm drain systems.
Our plans include:
– Scheduled inspections before the spring thaw and the fall freeze
– Full system flush and debris removal
– Priority emergency service if issues arise
With a simple maintenance plan, you can rest easy knowing your home is ready year-round.
