drain cleaning easement

Explanation:
Never heard of such a thing, but there's no reason why it should not exist, if one person's drains are routed through/under someone else's property.

Apart from the slum clearance sense, "curetage" is a synonym of "curage" or "curement":

CURAGE ou CUREMENT (parfois Curetage)
Nettoyage des canalisations d'évacuation et égouts, pour les débarrasser des boues et débris qui provoquent leur engorgement.
[Dicobat -v highly recommended]
