When a French drain, yard drain or downspout line clogs, the water has nowhere to go — and your yard floods all over again. Our high-pressure jetting blasts out the roots, silt and debris so your drains flow freely, no digging required.
Drainage systems work silently underground — until they don't. Over the years, roots, sand, leaf grit and sediment build up inside the pipe and slowly choke the flow. The first sign is usually water pooling where it used to drain, or a downspout that backs up in a hard rain. Cleaning the line restores it to full capacity, and it's far cheaper than replacing a drain that isn't actually broken. Need your drains cleared? Aqua Premier jets and clears drain lines across St. Johns and Duval County.
We feed a jetting hose into the drain line and push water through at high pressure. The stream scours the inside of the pipe — cutting through root intrusion, breaking up packed sediment and flushing it all out the outlet. Because the cleaning happens inside the existing pipe, there's no trenching and no torn-up lawn. When we're done, we confirm full flow so you know the line is genuinely clear.
When a drain keeps clogging — or we need to know whether a line is blocked or actually broken — we run a waterproof camera through it. The camera shows what’s inside the pipe and where: roots, packed sand and silt, a crushed or separated section, or a low spot where water sits. We’ll walk you through what we find, so the fix is based on the real problem instead of a guess. Camera inspections cover yard and drainage lines, not sewer lines.
Clogs often start at the roof. If your downspouts dump grit into the drains, pairing a cleaning with gutter guards keeps most debris out — and if a line is crushed rather than clogged, we'll fold the fix into a full drainage repair.
Our shop is right in Nocatee, so we can typically get to neighbors in Nocatee and Ponte Vedra Beach quickly when a drain backs up — and our camera inspections show whether the line needs cleaning or a repair.
We clean and jet drains throughout Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, St. Augustine, Jacksonville and the surrounding St. Johns & Duval County areas.
Tell-tale signs are water pooling over a drain or French-drain run, slow-draining catch basins, water backing up out of a yard drain, gurgling downspouts, or a soggy spot that used to drain fine. If your drainage worked before and now doesn't, it's usually a clog.
Drain (hydro) jetting pushes water through the line at high pressure to scour out the roots, silt, sediment and debris that build up inside French drains, yard drains and downspout lines — restoring full flow without digging up the pipe.
Yes. We run a waterproof camera through French drains, yard drains and downspout lines to see what’s causing the problem — roots, sand and silt, or a crushed or separated pipe — and where it is. That tells us whether jetting will clear the line or it needs a repair, without digging up the yard to find out. We work on yard and drainage lines, not sewer lines.
Most clogged French drains can be jetted clean and put right back to work — far cheaper than replacement. We only recommend replacing a drain if the pipe is crushed, collapsed or root-destroyed beyond what jetting can clear.
Yes. The underground lines that carry water from your downspouts away from the house clog with shingle grit and debris over time. We flush them clear so your gutters actually drain where they should.
For most Northeast Florida homes, having drains checked and cleaned every 1–2 years prevents the slow build-up that causes backups — especially under heavy tree cover or after a stormy season.
