SEWER & STORM DRAIN
REPAIR

What is a storm drain?

Storm drains are essentially a type of catch basin. Catch basins are holes underneath the ground where stormwater flows to. After a storm, water runoff goes to the catch basins, and from there, to the city sewerage system. Then, the stormwater is taken into the soil, a waterway, or a natural body of water. Without storm drains, stormwater would remain in your yard, the sideway, the road, and the driveway, causing many inconveniences and probably flooding. Miami Beach counts on those storm drains to manage stormwater properly. 

To maintain the sewage system working smoothly, regular storm drain cleaning is necessary, especially before the rainy season. If you keep your storm drains clean, you'll prevent them from damage. But still, heavy storms or the passing of time can damage your storm drains, causing them to need some repairs. A quick and affordable repair will always be way less expensive than having to replace your storm sewer with a new one. If a Miami storm drain repair is what you need, don't hesitate to call us - we are happy to help you.

Storm drains have grates to filter stormwater and separate debris or large items from the water. Still, grates are not bulletproof; they can get clogged or fail to stop garbage from coming into the sewer system. After a heavy storm, leaves and branches, among other objects, can clog the storm drain grates. That can be dangerous since if the water is not allowed to enter the sewer system, it'll stay on the surface, causing flood and other hazards. But when junk finds a way to pass the grates and gets into the sewer system, that can cause clogged pipes or broken pipes. If that's the case, an immediate repair is strongly advised. Always try to get your storm drainage system repaired and cleaned before the next storm.

On the same notice, never dispose of your yard debris on your storm drains. When doing yard work, sweeping leaves and other garbage into the storm drains seems like an easy solution. But that can lead to a lot of trouble. Turn your yard garbage into compost, or get rid of it following your state regulations.

Storm drain cleaning is also essential to prevent damage to your septic tank. How so? If storm drains are clogged, stormwater has no choice but to stay on the surface, likely causing your yard to flood. Standing water in your yard is a big deal because the soil can't soak up all that amount of stormwater, nor the water from your drain field pipes. That will definitely cause your septic tank to fill up fast since it can't get rid of the tested wastewater from your house. You'll probably need a septic tank pumping in Miami, Fl.
