Maintaining Storm Drains
Can you believe it – It’s going to be winter before we know it which means we need to be prepared!
Storm drains are one of those things we tend to forget about until it’s too late. Storm drains are large, grated drains that you see on the streets controlling and collecting the water. Did you know that these get clogged too?!
During fall and winter, they often get clogged with leaves, trash, debris and the heavy rain fall causes these to pool and get clogged with all the debris. You will notice that your storm drain is clogged with the indication of:
- slow drainage
- pooling of water
- visible debris
- odor
When you see that a clog is forming call Craig Johnson Plumbing to resolve your issue by either using our Hydro Jetter or snake to clear the clog. The Hydro Jetter is the best way to clear these clogs due to their high-pressure water to dislodge any debris.
It’s also important to prevent this type of a situation by clearing it before winter and the heavy rain fall so that you don’t end up with a clogged and overflowing storm drain!
