Fixing a Drain Disaster!

Orange County Landscape

TRU Landscape Services just completed a project in Rancho Santa Margarita. This project consists of removing two large Queen Palms and repairing 2 drain lines. The Palm trees were growing right on top of the drain pipes on both sides of the house. TRU LandscapeThe previous contractor used cheap pipes that let all of the water drain out at the joints. When the joints start leaking water into the soil the tree roots began growing inside of the drain pipe. Our customer had the grass remove from her back yard by another contractor. This same contractor installed new concrete in the back yard and the concrete looked very nice. The only problem was he used the old drains that were already clogged with trees roots. Then he installed a new drain pipe under the ground and stopped it right by the palm trees, so the drains worked for a couple of years and then the roots clogged the new pipe.  It’s a drain disaster!  What to do? Time for some Tree Removal!

After removing the 2 Palm trees we started on the drain lines. Now normally we would just give a estimate to install all new drain lines, but in this case our customer had told us the story about the other contractor that installed the new landscape drains and so we thought we could make the repairs to the drain pipes without tearing up the whole back yard. We were right on one side of the house; we removed a small portion of concrete that allowed us to remove a large root system. Once that large root system was removed the water started flowing to the street. Our crew patched the concrete and we moved onto the other side. We knew this side was going to cause us problems so we cut holes in the back yard concrete and after a long struggle we were able to clear all of the drains. We installed a new outdoor drain pipe and patched the concrete. The new landscape drain pipe has glued together joints. The joints being glued together will help keep the water from escaping the pipe. Which will help keep the roots out of the pipe. TRU Landscape Services has been installing landscape drains for over 25 years in Orange County.
