Storm Drain Cleaning Is About Surface Water

Storm drain cleaning is different from sewer cleaning. It is focused on rainwater movement through catch basins, parking lot drains, driveway drains, HOA drainage structures and commercial stormwater systems.

When debris blocks the inlet or the line, water can collect quickly during heavy rain. Removing leaves, trash, mud and sediment helps restore capacity so stormwater can move away from the property.

Where Storm Drain Cleaning Helps

Retail centers, apartment communities, HOAs, industrial yards, schools, office buildings, parking lots and large residential properties can all need storm drain maintenance. The most common signs are standing water, slow-draining catch basins, debris-filled grates and water moving toward structures.

Preventive Cleaning Before Rain Events

Houston storms can expose drainage problems quickly. Preventive cleaning before heavy rain seasons can help reduce flooding risk, protect pavement and keep walkways, driveways and parking areas safer.
