Storm Drain Cleaning FAQs
What is storm drain cleaning and when is it needed?
Storm drain cleaning removes debris, sediment, leaves, and buildup from storm water drainage systems to prevent flooding and standing water. It is needed when you notice slow drainage after rain, standing water in parking lots, overflowing catch basins, or erosion around drainage inlets. Regular cleaning prevents costly damage.
How often should commercial storm drains be cleaned?
Commercial properties should have storm drains cleaned at least annually, ideally before the heavy rain season. Properties with heavy tree coverage, construction activity, or high traffic may need quarterly cleaning. Regular maintenance prevents flooding, reduces liability, and keeps your property compliant with stormwater regulations.
Do you clean both residential and commercial storm drains?
Yes. ArtFix Plumbing cleans storm drains for residential properties, commercial buildings, parking lots, HOA communities, and municipal systems throughout the Charlotte metro area. We have the equipment to handle everything from small residential yard drains to large commercial catch basins and detention systems.
What equipment do you use for storm drain cleaning?
We use professional hydro jetting equipment, vacuum trucks for debris removal, and video inspection cameras to assess the condition of storm drain lines. High-pressure water jetting effectively removes sediment, grease, root intrusion, and built-up debris that causes blockages and slow drainage.
Can clogged storm drains cause property damage?
Absolutely. Clogged storm drains cause water to pool around foundations, flood parking lots and walkways, erode landscaping, and can lead to basement or crawl space flooding. Standing water also creates slip hazards and mosquito breeding grounds. Proactive storm drain maintenance is far less expensive than water damage repair.
