If you have stepped outside your home or business here in Southwest Florida then there is no doubt that you have likely seen a storm drain. They can be seen on most street corners and in many parking lots. Sometimes called a catch basin, these drains remove rainwater from the street and the surrounding property. If they become clogged, the water can back up and flood the area. That’s why it is so important to call a professional to help keep your storm drain clear of debris — after all, the last thing you want is damaged property. At Avis, our team has the experience and equipment to get the job done.
How does a storm drain work? When it rains, the water runs down the street and into a storm drain, but what happens then? At that point, the water will likely be transported to a local waterway. This is accomplished by using a system of culverts, drainage ditches, and underground piping. It is important to know that typically this water does not go to a sewer treatment facility but instead goes directly to a pond, river, or creek. This is why it is so important to be careful about what goes down a storm drain!
If the storm drain doesn’t function properly due to being clogged with debris or being damaged — especially after a big hurricane like Irma and all the rain from the summer months — it will lead to flooding and possibly even property damage.
There are multiple parts to a storm water drain:
- Storm water grate
- Storm drain covers
- Storm drain pipe
