I'm dealing with a problem in my basement where the French drains, which were installed professionally some time ago, have become clogged. I've been facing constant water issues because my house is situated on a hill. I'm hoping someone can offer advice on how I can tackle this clog myself. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

To help solve your clog issue, I recommend checking how long ago the drains were installed and figuring out whether they are interior or exterior. It's important to know if you have cleanouts, and if the drains go directly to the sewer or to a box in the basement first. You could investigate if they're actually clogged by checking for any visible debris or blockage in the gap between your wall and floor.
Thanks for the tips! They definitely seem clogged, and the gap is just about an inch.
