The work involved

Storm Drain Cleaning

Storm drains and exterior drainage lines can collect leaves, dirt, roots, and debris. Cleaning helps water move away from the property and can reveal whether a drain repair or outdoor plumbing repair is needed.

What we can help with

  • Clear accessible storm and yard drain debris
  • Review exterior drainage symptoms
  • Recommend repair when drains are damaged
  • Coordinate with outdoor plumbing repair when needed
Know your options

Follow the outdoor drainage route

Leaves and sediment can obstruct exterior drains, but standing water can also come from a damaged line or an unsuitable discharge route. Let us know when pooling occurs and which inlets are involved. We review accessible drainage and explain the limits of cleaning alone.

Make the inlets and access points available

Tell us where water collects, where the drain is expected to discharge and whether the problem appears only during rain. Photos taken during a previous event can explain a condition that is not visible on a dry day. Clearing an accessible drain does not include reshaping the landscape or changing the site’s grading.

A question worth asking

Will cleaning solve every pooling problem?

No. Cleaning can remove an obstruction from a serviceable line. Broken piping, grading or an inadequate drainage layout can require separate repair or site work.
