At PRS, we do detailed camera inspections of storm drains. With our cameras, we’ll find leaks and clogs, and our technician will determine if your storm drains need repair. The drainpipes aren’t pressurized, so it’s hard to find leaks without a camera.

Storm drainage pipes and lines can be cleaned with a VacCon, vacuum trailer, high-powered water jetting, and mechanical cleaning equipment. It depends on what’s causing the obstruction, leak, or clog. Clogs can be cleared with a cleaning, and the storm system can run more efficiently, or perhaps a leak will be found requiring lining or another pipe drain rehabilitation solution.

Storm drains collect rainwater and direct it away from streets, properties, parking areas, and other surfaces. Over time, leaves, dirt, sediment, trash, and other debris can accumulate inside the drain and restrict water flow. Regular storm drain cleaning helps prevent blockages, standing water, flooding, and potential damage to surrounding property.
Keep leaves, grass clippings, dirt, trash, and other debris away from storm drain openings, particularly before and during heavy rain. Regularly inspect exterior drains and remove visible debris from grates and surrounding areas. For drains that collect significant amounts of sediment or debris, professional cleaning can help prevent buildup from becoming a larger blockage.
The cost of drain cleaning depends on the type of drain, the severity and location of the blockage, and the equipment needed to clear it. Storm drain cleaning may also cost more when extensive sediment buildup, roots, or other obstructions are present. A plumber or drain cleaning professional can provide a more accurate estimate after inspecting the drain.
There is no single schedule that works for every property. Outside drains should generally be inspected and cleaned regularly, with more frequent cleaning for properties surrounded by trees, areas that collect significant debris, or locations that have experienced recurring drainage problems. Cleaning before periods of heavy rainfall can also help reduce the risk of blockages and flooding.
Responsibility depends on where the blocked drain is located and who owns or maintains it. Property owners are generally responsible for drains located on their private property, while public storm drains and drainage infrastructure may be maintained by a local government or other responsible authority. If you are unsure who is responsible for a blocked rainwater drain, check with your local municipality or property manager.
