Cleaning and rehabilitating commercial storm drains and catch basins is crucial to maintaining effective drainage systems, preventing wastewater flooding, and reducing pollution. Here’s an overview of what our services include:
Drainage Well Rehab & Cleaning
With drainage well rehab and cleaning, we restore and maintain the infrastructure you use to dispose of excess water underground. We’ll keep the wells free from obstructions while repairing the structure, removing sediment, and sanitizing the well to prevent clogging and contamination.
Here’s a further breakdown of what our drainage well rehab and cleaning services consist of:
Cleaning
Cleaning a drainage well primarily involves safely removing the debris and sediment that accumulate in it over time. While we can clean a well at any time, it’s best to use this service as a preventative measure to stop blockages from forming and disrupting your operations.
Rehabilitation
Meanwhile, rehabilitating a drainage well typically involves reinforcing structural integrity, sealing cracks, and updating the well’s parts to meet current environmental standards. Your well might not need a full rehabilitation unless it’s showing signs of significant wear, structural problems, or noticeably reduced performance.
Storm Drain Rehab & Cleaning
Environmental Service Corp. also cleans and rehabs storm drains for commercial and municipal facilities. Storm drains channel rainwater out of urban areas to prevent flooding. As with drainage wells, storm drain cleaning involves removing debris buildup to prevent or eliminate backups. With rehabilitation, we’ll repair damaged infrastructure, re-line old pipes, and clear blockages.
Learn more about each of these services below:
Cleaning
Cleaning a storm drain involves removing trash, leaves, and other debris that can obstruct the flow of water. Doing this regularly helps maintain the drain’s water capacity and stops water from backing up, particularly during heavy rainfall when the volume is higher.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitating a storm drain restores or enhances the drain’s structural condition. Depending on the drain’s age and natural wear over time, we might have to seal cracks, repair entire sections of the drain, or replace older sections of the structure with new materials to improve their durability and efficiency against future problems.
Catch Basin Rehab & Cleaning
Finally, with catch basin cleaning and rehabilitation, we maintain the efficiency and structural integrity of the catch basins that catch and filter out debris from stormwater before it enters your drainage system.
See more details below:
Cleaning and Maintenance
We clean catch basins by clearing the debris and sediment that naturally collect there. It’s always a good idea to schedule regular cleaning so debris doesn’t build up and cause overflow. Clear catch basins effectively trap sediment and pollutants before they enter the sewer system.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitating catch basins may include repairing structural damage such as cracks or erosion within the basin walls and improving the basin’s filtration and drainage capacity to enhance performance. It can also involve retrofitting older basins with new technology for increased efficiency.
Our Processes
Cleaning Process
- Debris Removal: The first step involves removing leaves, trash, sediment, and other debris that has accumulated in the storm drains and catch basins. We use both manual methods and specialized equipment, such as vacuum trucks.
- Sediment and Silt Extraction: Over time, sediment and silt can build up at the bottom of catch basins and in storm drains, reducing their capacity and efficiency. We use powerful vacuums to extract these materials and clear the drains and basins.
- High-Pressure Water Jetting: Jetting uses high-pressure water streams to dislodge and remove built-up materials on the storm drain walls and catch basins. This restores the full capacity of the drainage system.
Rehabilitation Process
- Structural Assessment: Before we rehab a damaged drainage well or storm drain, we thoroughly inspect the infrastructure to identify damage such as cracks, holes, or collapsed sections.
- Repair and Sealing: Depending on the extent of damage, we might only need to seal cracks or reseal joints. For more significant structural issues, patching or relining might be necessary. New lining acts as a barrier against corrosion, abrasion, and root intrusion.
- Installation of Filters or Guards: Filters or guards on catch basins can prevent debris from entering the drainage system. These devices significantly reduce the amount of maintenance required by blocking large debris at the entry point.
How to Determine When You Need Storm Drain & Catch Basin Cleaning or Rehab
One of the easiest ways to determine if you need commercial or industrial storm drain or catch basin cleaning is when your locale has been experiencing heavy rainfall and you notice pooling water or built-up debris around your drains.
Since storm drains and catch basins are designed to enable excess water flow to run off into your local sewer system, any blockage can cause costly flooding if not dealt with as soon as possible.
Why Is Regular Storm Drain & Catch Basin Cleaning and Rehab Important?
1. Prevents Flooding
The primary reason for maintaining storm drains and catch basins is to prevent flooding. When these systems are clogged with debris, they can’t efficiently channel water away from your commercial properties, leading to water accumulation and potential flooding.
2. Reduces Environmental Pollution
Storm drains often lead directly to rivers, lakes, and oceans. If they are clogged with pollutants such as plastics, chemicals, and organic waste, these contaminants can end up in natural water bodies, harming aquatic life and degrading water quality.
3. Maintains Public Safety and Health
Stagnant water in clogged drainage systems can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests, which can spread diseases.
4. Extends Lifespan of Infrastructure
Regular rehabilitation and maintenance of drainage infrastructure help extend the lifespan of these assets and prevent more significant and costly damages in the future.
