The Importance of Storm Drains
Storm drains are essential for municipalities and private properties across the Greater Houston area. These drains collect rainwater from impervious surfaces and send them to a collection area, typically a bayou, lake, pond, canal, etc. Storm drains are commonly located in parking lots, the sides of streets, and near sidewalks. However, storm drains can also be incorporated in other areas too, such as yards. Storm drains are important to prevent flooding in areas where rainwater cannot penetrate. Unfortunately, storm drains can easily become clogged, so regular cleaning and maintenance are a must.
We are happy to service storm drains that are located in the following areas:
Parking lots, driveways, and parking garages
Sidewalks, paved roads, and highways
Parks, lawns, yards, and gardens

STORM DRAINS CLOG OFTEN
What is Clogging Your Storm Drain?
Storm drains see all sorts of debris and foreign objects. It’s common as rainwater falls onto various surfaces and carries debris with it. The debris builds up over the metal grate, which can usually be removed without a professional. Over time, debris can make its way through the metal grate, allowing a buildup of debris in the catch basin below. This can also result in a clog, one you cannot remove on your own.
So what exactly is clogging your storm drain? There are many potential culprits:
- Grass clippings
- Leaves
- Twigs
- Dirt
- Mud
- Trash
Any of the debris above is capable of bypassing your metal grate and clogging your storm drain. When this occurs, flooding will occur. You should contact our team for immediate cleaning and clog removal services.

Cleaning Out Storm Drains
To thoroughly clean your storm drain, our team will use one of two methods depending on the severity: water jetting or drain snaking. Drain snaking is an effective method for dislodging clogs and sending them down the drain. You typically drain snake from the hardware store is not powerful or long enough to fix your storm drain. In that case, you need a professional with the right equipment. Drain snaking is a common method we utilize for storm drain cleaning as it’s effective, low cost, and can be done quickly.
The other type of storm drain cleaning we perform is water jetting. This form of drain cleaning uses high-pressure water to blast clogs away. The water grips every side of the drain and pushes on the clog evenly. This helps dislodge the clog entirely, allowing for a comprehensive cleaning. Depending on the severity of your drain clog, our team will use the method they believe to be the best option.
