About this service
What Outdoor Drain Cleaning in Greer Actually Involves
Outdoor Drain Cleaning in Greer is the process of removing leaves, sediment, roots, and standing water from the drains that carry rainwater and gray water away from your property. It covers yard drains, patio drains, driveway trench drains, catch basins, and the storm inlets at the curb. We start by locating every drain on the property, then we pull the grate, clear the debris by hand, and run a drain snake or sewer jetter hose through the line to restore full flow. Most residential jobs take two to four hours.
Greer sits in Greenville County where red clay soil, mature hardwoods, and heavy spring and fall leaf drop combine to clog outdoor drains faster than most homeowners expect. A single sweetgum tree can fill a yard drain box in one season. When that happens, water has nowhere to go, so it pools against the slab, saturates the lawn, and eventually finds its way into a basement or crawlspace. If you have been searching for outdoor drain cleaning near me Greer, the fix is usually a same-week visit and a few hours of work.

What's included
What Our Outdoor Drain Cleaning Includes
Every outdoor drain job includes a full inspection, debris removal, line clearing, and a flow test. We tell you upfront if the job needs something beyond a standard clearing, like a camera inspection or a pipe repair, and we price that separately before we start.
Grate and Debris Removal
We pull the floor drain grate or yard drain cover and remove leaves, sticks, gravel, and silt by hand. On Greer properties, that debris layer is often 3 to 6 inches deep.
Line Snaking or Jetting
Depending on the clog, we run a drain snake, auger cable, or hydro jetting machine through the line. Root intrusion gets cut with a root cutting chain on a rooter machine.
Flow Test at the Outlet
We flood the drain with a hose and watch the outlet. If water moves through in under 60 seconds with no backup, the line is clear and we move on.
Debris Haul-Away
We bag everything we pull out and take it with us. You do not come home to a pile of wet leaves and silt sitting on your lawn or driveway.
Maintenance Recommendation
We tell you how often to re-clear based on the trees and soil on your lot, and we offer a preventive plan if you want us to handle it for you.
How it works
How Our Outdoor Drain Service Works
You call (864)403-1974 and describe what you are seeing: water pooling here, a drain that gurgles there, a smell near the patio. We ask about the property age, the drain type, and whether the backup happens only during rain. That five-minute conversation usually tells us whether you need a simple hand-clear or a full hydro jetting visit. We give you a price range on the call.
A licensed technician walks the property and locates every drain, including the ones buried under mulch or grass. We pull the floor drain grate and the yard drain covers, then look inside with a sewer camera if the line is deep or the blockage is not visible. This step takes 15 to 30 minutes and tells us exactly what we are dealing with.
We remove leaves, sticks, gravel, and silt by hand first. On Greer properties, that debris layer is often 3 to 6 inches deep in a yard drain box. Skipping this step is why so many DIY attempts fail: you cannot snake a line that is packed solid at the top. We bag the debris and haul it off.
With the box clear, we run a drain snake or a sewer jetter hose through the line to the outlet. Root intrusion gets cut with a root cutting chain on a rooter machine. Grease buildup and soap scum in patio and driveway drains get flushed with a hydro jetting machine at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI. Most lines clear in 30 to 60 minutes.
We flood the drain with a hose and watch the outlet. If water moves through in under a minute with no backup, the job is done. We show you the outlet, point out any cracked PVC pipe or bellied sections we found, and tell you how often to re-clear based on the trees on your lot. You pay the quoted price, nothing more.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Drain snake and auger cable
Used for soft clogs and mid-line blockages in yard drains and patio drains. The auger cable breaks up the clog and pulls debris back to the access point.
Hydro jetting machine
Pushes water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI through a sewer jetting hose to strip grease, silt, and roots from the pipe wall. It restores the full diameter of the line.
Rooter machine with root cutting chain
Cuts tree roots at the pipe wall when root intrusion is causing repeat clogs. We follow it with a jetting pass to flush the cuttings out.
Sewer camera and inspection crawler
Lets us see inside the line without digging. We use it to find collapsed sewer line sections, bellied pipe, and root entry points before we quote a repair.
Ridgid and Spartan Tool equipment
Our primary machines come from Ridgid and Spartan Tool, with General Pipe Cleaners augers as backup. These are the brands that hold up to daily outdoor drain work.
Drain cleaning bladder
A quick tool for flushing a short outdoor drain run when the clog is loose and the line is not heavily scaled. It saves time on simple jobs.

Outdoor Drain Problems We Fix in Greer
Most outdoor drain calls fall into a handful of categories. Here are the ones we see most often in Greer, what happens if you leave them alone, and how we fix them.
Ask a pro →Leaves clog outdoor drain Greer SC boxes every fall
We remove the debris layer by hand, jet the line to the outlet, and set you up on a fall maintenance visit so the box never fills to the point of backup again.
Tree roots have entered the drain joints
We run a rooter machine with a root cutting chain to cut the roots at the pipe wall, then jet the line clean. If the pipe is damaged, we show you the camera footage and quote a repair.
Grease buildup from a patio or kitchen drain
We use a hydro jetting machine at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI to strip the grease from the pipe wall. For commercial kitchens, we also clean the grease trap baffles so grease never reaches the outdoor line.
Storm drain blockage at the curb inlet
We clear the storm inlet, remove the sediment and debris, and jet the line to the main storm system. We can also set up recurring catch basin cleaning to keep it clear.

Outdoor Drain Cleaning Pricing in Greer
$180 - $450 for most residential outdoor drain cleaning jobs
Outdoor drain cleaning in Greer costs between $180 and $450 for most residential jobs in 2026. A single yard drain with a surface clog sits at the low end. Multiple drains, root intrusion, or a line that needs full hydro jetting pushes toward the high end. We quote a range on the phone and confirm the exact price after the on-site inspection. There is no charge for the estimate, and we do not start work until you approve the price.
Clearing an outdoor drain costs a fraction of repairing a flooded crawlspace, a cracked patio slab, or a collapsed sewer line. A $300 clearing that prevents a $6,000 foundation repair is the best money you will spend on your property this year.

What Greer Customers Say
★★★★★
“Our backyard turned into a swamp every time it rained. Drain Cleaning Pros came out the same day, pulled about four inches of leaves and silt out of the yard drain, and jetted the line. Water has not pooled there since. They showed me the outlet and explained how often to re-clear it. Fair price and no mess left behind.”

“We manage several commercial lots near Greer Station and had two catch basins backing up into the parking area. Their crew cleared both, jetted the lines, and set us up on a twice-a-year maintenance schedule. We have not had a single flood call since. They know what they are doing with outdoor drains.”

“I had a clogged outdoor drain that two other companies could not fix. Drain Cleaning Pros ran a camera, found roots in the line, cut them out with a rooter machine, and tested the flow. It has been six months and the patio drain still runs clear. I wish I had called them first.”
