Our drainage expert’s advice on storm drain cleaning

Adverse weather, debris and blockages within the drainage network can cause issues for storm drains. However, by following some simple steps you can keep your drainage network running as it should be…

Tips for storm drain cleaning and maintenance

1. High power water jetting is one of the most efficient ways of clearing a storm drain

In cases where a storm drain is flooding and causing environmental issues, this is often caused by high demand and a blockage. However, high power water jetting is often the best solution for removing the blockage quickly and efficiently. Other methods also include industrial vacuuming, which removes blockages safely.

Due to the nature of high power water jetting we recommend working with a qualified drainage team and not attempting this yourself.

2. It is advisable to have regular maintenance and water jetting of the storm drains

Having regular maintenance of the drainage network will prevent flooding problems, instead by having an expert team carry out storm drain cleaning you can feel confident that downtime will be minimised.

3. CCTV drain surveys will diagnose the root of the problem easily

Any issue within the drainage network can be easily diagnosed with a CCTV drain survey. Inserting small cameras and crawlers into drainage pipes will show any blockages, their location and size. By having this information, a drainage expert can properly resolve the issue, often with storm drain cleaning. 

4. Clear debris including leaves from the network will help things to run smoothly

Storm drains can often collect a range of debris including leaves which can cause small blockages and overflowing water. However, by acting quickly and ensuring debris is removed regularly you can ensure your drainage network continues to run smoothly.
