Storm Drain Cleaning
Top-Notch Storm Drain Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio and the Surrounding Areas
Storm drains are present in residential and commercial areas. You can find them on almost every street corner and in parking lots. True to their name, storm drains have one function: to remove excess rainwater from the street during storms.
However, the problem with storm drains is that debris such as leaves, twigs, and garbage can easily clog up the drain system. When this happens, rainwater can’t go down, and flooding can quickly occur in a clogged storm drain.
If you have a storm drain on or near your property, you need to check it immediately after a storm. If you notice a clogged or damaged storm drain, it’s time to call Harner Plumbing for storm drain cleaning in Northeast Ohio and surrounding areas.
How Does a Storm Drain Work?
During and after a rainstorm, the rainwater runs down into the drain system. The water moves to nearby waterways via a system of underground pipes and culverts. It is important to note that sewer treatment facilities do not treat water from storm drains. Since the water heads straight to local waterways like rivers, ponds, or creeks, the materials and chemicals used for storm drain maintenance and cleaning must be safe and environmentally friendly.
You can lessen the risk of blockages through regular storm drain cleaning services, even if it is not raining. Leaf litter, twigs, dirt, and other pollutants can still build up at the entrance of your storm drain. When this debris mixes with rainwater, it creates sludge that becomes much harder to clean.
Signs That Your Storm Drain Needs Cleaning
The most obvious sign that your storm drain needs cleaning is visible debris blocking the entrance. Even the smallest pieces of garbage can stop a storm drain from working properly. However, there are also other signs that you need to look out for, such as:
Storm drain clogs don’t always happen on the surface. Sometimes, sludge can build up inside the storm drain after heavy rains or floods. Through thorough storm drain inspection procedures, you can uncover potential clogs before they develop. If the clog is inside the drain system, it is harder to remove the blockage. You’ll need to call a professional full-service plumbing company that specializes in storm drain cleaning services.
How Does Storm Drain Cleaning Work?
The first step in storm drain repair and cleaning is a storm drain inspection. We use a snake hose camera to inspect your storm drain and find issues like blockages and leaks. We will also check if there is any damage along the pipe lining. If we find any damage, we will create a plan that includes cleaning and repairing your storm drain.
After assessing the condition of your storm drain, we use high-pressure water jets to clean the inside and remove blockages. Sewer jetting emerges as a highly effective method for tackling stubborn blockages and restoring optimal flow. By harnessing high-pressure water, this technique efficiently removes roots, heavy grease deposits, and mild scale, ensuring smooth operations for sanitary, storm, and vent piping.
Equipped with hose sizes ranging from 1/8” to 1/2”, sewer jetting rigs offer the flexibility to clean piping systems with diameters ranging from 1 1/2” up to 6”. This versatility ensures thorough cleaning across various infrastructure configurations, including storm drains.
Our mobile jetting rigs are engineered to tackle the toughest obstructions in remote locations. Featuring on-board water storage and up to 500' of line cleaning capability, coupled with a diverse selection of jetting heads, our rigs deliver unmatched performance and precision.
