Procedures in the footing (French) drain

Treatment for iron bacteria

This procedure, aimed to destroy the slime gel caused by filamentous bacteria, is done inside the house in the catch basin or a gravity damper, regardless the season.

Catch basin:

Gravity damper:

The procedure is carried out in accordance with high safety standards in order to protect occupants and preserve the quality of underground water.

Cleaning of footing (French) drain

Cleaning is meant to remove organic or limestone deposits from the footing (French) drain. High-pressure water jet cleaning is performed with specialized equipment.

Organic materials build up as a red ochre paste that forms a crust inside the drain to finally clog it.

Limestone sediments cake together to finally block the drain, then slow down the water flow in the footing (French) drain.
