Who should I call to clean out a storm drain?

To have a storm drain clean out service, you should contact a professional plumber with experience working with drains in case there is a problem with yours. An experienced plumber will be able to inspect the pipe for leaks, blockages or other damage. They can also locate problems early on so that minor repairs don’t turn into major fixes down the line. 

Water Worx Services offers professional reliable storm drain services. Our highly trained team members have years of experience working with storm drains and will be able to quickly and effectively clean out your drain while also conducting a thorough inspection. Contact us today for more information or to schedule a service! 

How do you solve water drainage problems near Durham?

Most drainage issues are caused by an insufficient pitch or slope in your yard, which prevents water runoff from being channeled away from the home. A slope of 3% or greater is usually necessary to avoid drainage issues. It is best to utilize a French drain or catch basins. To move water away, you can also build a low region known as a swale (shallow gully). However, it is usually preferred to have runoff water flow naturally overland rather than using catch basins or French drains, which frequently choke over time.

Who is responsible for maintaining stormwater management ponds in Durham?

It all boils down to where the pond is located. Cities are liable for any retention ponds located within the public right of way or on town-owned land. Private property runoff is the responsibility of the property owner, property management business, or community Homeowners Association (HOA). So, whether you have a retention pond in your neighborhood, business park, or retail center, your HOA or property management firm must take care of it.
