Experienced Team

Yard and Area Drain Cleaning in Tucson
Yard drains and area inlets collect runoff from lawns, rock landscaping and patios. Over time the grates fill with leaves and the pipes fill with silt and small gravel. We pull the grates, vacuum the inlet box and jet the pipe toward its outlet. This restores the line so it can handle a full storm. We also check that grates are secure and level.

Downspout and Roof Drain Lines in Tucson, AZ
Many homes connect downspouts to buried pipe that carries water away from the foundation. These lines clog with roof granules, leaves and nests, then back up and dump water at the wall. We jet them clear and test with a hose to confirm flow at the outlet. For flat roofs with scuppers or canales, we check that the discharge path is open too. Keeping water away from the slab helps protect against soil movement and cracking.
Catch Basin Cleaning in Tucson
Catch basins and sumps trap sediment so it does not go into the pipe system, but they need regular emptying. When they fill, sediment flows into the pipes and clogs them. We vacuum out the basin, remove trash and debris, and check the outlet pipe. Commercial lots and HOAs often have several basins that need service. We can set up a routine schedule before and after monsoon season.
Dry Well Cleaning and Inspection in Tucson, AZ
Dry wells let storm water soak into the ground instead of flowing to a street. In Arizona they are common in commercial sites, HOAs and some residential lots. Silt slowly seals the settling chamber and the drainage rock, slowing how fast water drains. We vacuum the chamber, inspect the inlet and outlet, and check drain-down time. If the dry well no longer drains properly, we explain options for rehabilitation or replacement.
Channel and Trench Drain Cleaning in Tucson
Channel drains across driveways and garage entries catch water before it reaches the house. Their narrow channels fill quickly with sand and debris during dust storms. We remove the grates, clean the channel and jet the outlet pipe. Cracked or loose grates can be replaced while we are there. A clean trench drain keeps water out of your garage during heavy rain.
Commercial Storm Drain Maintenance in Tucson, AZ
Parking lots, shopping centers and industrial sites have larger storm systems with multiple inlets, basins and long pipe runs. We provide scheduled cleaning with jetting and vacuum equipment sized for commercial lines. Service reports document what was cleaned and any repair needs. Regular maintenance helps property owners meet local storm water requirements. Work can be done during off hours to avoid disrupting customers.
Emergency Storm Drain Clearing in Tucson
If water is pooling against your home during a storm, a clogged drain is often the cause. We respond to urgent calls to clear the blockage and get water moving. In the moment, we focus on the inlet and pipe that are causing the flooding. Once the storm passes, we can clean the rest of the system. We also note any grading or drainage issues that made the problem worse.

Storm Drain Cleaning Cost Versus Water Damage in Tucson, AZ
A routine storm drain cleaning costs a small fraction of what it takes to dry out a flooded garage or repair a damaged slab. Many homeowners only call after water has already gotten in. Cleaning once a year, ideally before summer storms, prevents most problems. If a pipe is crushed or disconnected, we can locate it with a camera and repair just that section. We give you clear pricing for both cleaning and repairs.
