Clearing a silted or dirt-clogged French drain typically requires renting a high-pressure sewer jetter or hydro-blasting hose attached to a power washer to scour accumulated mud and debris out from inside the perforated pipe. If the surrounding geotextile fabric has completely collapsed or silted up due to the absence of initial filter fabric, sections of the trench may need manual excavation and replacement.
