Why do drain pipes need to be cleaned?

Managing the water balance on land often gets attention again when the suffering has already been suffered, or in other words: during the dry periods everyone forgets that there will be a wet period again. This can cause major problems in the spring when the land has to be tilled or during the harvest in the autumn.

When you have experienced such a situation, you look for a solution. This is often the construction of a drainage system. It is often then forgotten that this system also requires periodic maintenance:

  • are the outlets still free?
  • have the drainage pipes silted up due to flushing?
  • did root growth cause blockage?

It is therefore important to carry out periodic checks and maintenance so that the drainage system can continue to do its job optimally.

Cleaning drainage = managing the water balance!

  • The soil reaches a better temperature, among other things, for germination
  • An extension of the growing season and the harvest period
  • Less chance of damage to the crops during extreme rainfall
  • A better harvest (quality and quantity)
