 water drainage issue off driveway
Author: achillez (OR)

Hi - not sure if this is a "plumbing" topic but I have a water drainage issue off my driveway. Culprit seems to be the drain pipe in the middle, it easily gets plugged. I did the shop vac "suction" approach, sucked up a bunch of guck, some mud, even a few rocks. Now thinking to use a water jetter to try to punch through. Stuck spot is only ~15 ft in but I suspect it has to go 50 ft to get to the end.

Question: I have a Karcher electric pressure washer. Would like to add a 50' water jetter hose, something like:

... but I think I need an adapter for the Karcher. Thus far haven't found much except for this specialized hose, which sadly is only 25':

Any advice/suggestions much appreciated. If this doesn't belong here pls let me know if there's an equivalent DYI site like plbg.

Thanks

Go in as far as you can with what you have then put a baloon type hose end blaster on your hose and hopefully you have enough water pressure to blast out the rocks and whatever is in the drain. Hopefully you don't have roots in there. You can also try blasting from the end of the drain after you blast at the drain itself. If you can run a snake in from both ends first your are more likely to solve you problem. Good luck.
