Our Stormwater Management Services

Stormwater management requires knowledge of the laws and regulations that govern stormwater drainage systems, as well as the most effective maintenance programs to keep them in good working order. You’ll benefit from the expertise of a professional drain cleaning company to oversee the regular maintenance of stormwater drains.

Catch Basins

A catch basin (a type of storm drain) captures excess water from parking lots and roadways to prevent flooding. In the process, it also collects trash and debris, which helps keep pollutants out of the local water supply.

Area Drains

Area drains are small outdoor drains. They differ from catch basins in that they typically have smaller sumps, or lack them completely. They can be on sidewalks, in stairwells, low lying grassy areas, or any other area that tends to collect water. Area drains can be tied into typical larger stormwater drainage systems, or have perforated floors that allow collected water to leech back into the ground.

Storm Line Drains

The first step in cleaning a Storm Drain Line is determining if it is necessary. Often times, slow stormwater system drainage can be rectified simply by inspecting your Catch Basins and Water Quality Units (if applicable) and cleaning as necessary.

Water Quality Units

Water quality units are structures that separate sediment, grease and oils from storm water runoff in conjunction with your catch basin system. They provide an additional layer of protection to keep debris from entering the water supply. Many cities now require water quality units be installed when developing new properties. These units are also known as Stormceptors, Vortechnics or Vortex units, conTech units, hydraGuard units and Downstream Defenders.

Flammable Waste Traps

Flammable Waste Traps or gas traps, are found in many parking lots and garages, among other places. They are typically chambered tanks that allow for water to drain through while collecting any oils, greases, and other contaminants that may be in the stormwater system. These structures should be kept clean in order to maintain proper function and avoid contamination.

"The woman who answered the phone was courteous and professional, and Mike showed up in under an hour to take care of our drain clog. He was super friendly, explained the service and charges, and got to work quickly making sure he had shoe covers and a mask while he was here. The whole thing took less than an hour and we can use our kitchen sink again. We know a lot of people in the area and will absolutely be recommending John’s to all of them."

"Had a backed up drain over the holiday weekend. Was able to wait until Monday to avoid paying the extra holiday charge (just had to avoid doing laundry or running the dish washer). Got the job done in less than an hour! Very happy that we now have a clean drainage pipe again!"

"Fantastic and professional service from Jacob at John's Sewer and Drain Cleaning. We were facing down a clogged floor drain on a Sunday afternoon and not sure what to do. I called up John's and 30 minutes later Jacob was in touch and on his way. He was skilled, professional and patient with my questions. The job was more difficult that I think either of us expected, but he remained cool and calm and did not quit until it met his high standards and I was satisfied. I can honestly say that I did not think my drains could work this well. I wish I had called John's years ago. Recommended without reservation."

"Sewer backups are just plain unnerving, and John's Sewer & Drain Cleaning really helped us out in a tough spot. They came the same day, were totally efficient, easy to talk to, reassuring, and, best, successful in clearing our 100-year-old sewer—and for a very fair price. Bravo! We're very grateful."
