Professional storm drain cleaning for Cincinnati homes and businesses, clearing clogged catch basins, driveway drains, and downspouts before they flood your property.
When heavy rain hits and water starts pooling in your driveway, yard, or around your foundation, a clogged storm drain is usually the reason. Our storm drain cleaning in Cincinnati clears the leaves, dirt, and debris that block your exterior drains, so rainwater flows away from your home instead of backing up and flooding your property. Cincinnati gets its share of heavy storms, and a clear drain Cleaning is your first line of defense against water damage.
Storm drains, catch basins, and downspout lines fill up with leaves, mulch, silt, and sediment over time until the water has nowhere to go. We clear that buildup out completely and check the line so your drainage system can handle the next big rain. Whether it is a clogged driveway drain, an overflowing catch basin, or a yard that floods every storm, we get the water moving again.
Storm drain cleaning is the process of clearing debris and buildup from the drains that carry rainwater away from your property. Unlike the drains inside your home, storm drains handle everything the weather sends their way, from leaves and dirt to silt and runoff, and they clog in their own way over time.
Your storm drainage system includes the catch basins, driveway drains, yard drains, and downspout lines that move rainwater off your property and away from your foundation. When these fill with leaves, sediment, and debris, water backs up instead of draining, which is when pooling and flooding start.
We clear the blockage out of the drain and the connected line, so water can flow freely through the system again. The goal is simple, to make sure that when a heavy Cincinnati rain comes, the water has a clear path away from your home instead of collecting where it can cause damage.
When a driveway drain or yard drain clogs, water pools on the surface with nowhere to go. Beyond being a nuisance, standing water kills grass, damages pavement, and can freeze into a hazard in winter.
When storm drains cannot carry water away, it pools against your foundation and soaks into the ground around your home. Over time this leads to cracks, leaks, and water pushing its way into your basement.
This is the biggest risk. When downspout lines and storm drains back up during a heavy Cincinnati rain, that water can end up in your basement, causing damage that costs far more to fix than keeping the drains clear ever would.
Cincinnati gets frequent heavy rain, especially in spring and summer. When a fast, heavy downpour hits, a storm drain that is even partly clogged cannot keep up, and the water backs up and floods before it can drain away.
The mature trees that fill neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Oakley, and Clifton drop huge amounts of leaves every fall. Those leaves pile over grates and pack into drain lines, which is why so many storm drains clog right before the wet winter months.
Cincinnati is built on hills, and water runs fast down sloped properties, carrying dirt, mulch, and debris straight into storm drains. This runoff fills catch basins with sediment faster than on flat ground.
Parts of Cincinnati use a combined sewer system, where storm water and waste share the same pipes. During heavy rain, the system fills past capacity, which makes clear storm drains and downspout lines even more important for keeping water away from your home.
Every job is handled by trained, licensed technicians, so your property and your drainage system are always in careful, qualified hands.

Clean Before the Season Turns
The smartest time to clean your storm drains is before you need them. A cleaning in the fall clears out the leaves before winter, and a cleaning before spring gets your system ready for heavy rain. Staying ahead of the buildup means your drains are ready when the weather turns
Regular Maintenance for Problem Drains
If your property floods every storm or your drains clog often because of nearby trees or a sloped yard, regular cleaning keeps the system clear. We can set up a schedule so your drains are cleared before each rainy season, not after the flooding starts.
Storm drain cleaning is the process of clearing leaves, dirt, sediment, and debris from the drains that carry rainwater away from your property. This includes catch basins, driveway drains, downspout lines, and yard drains, so water flows away from your home instead of backing up.
We feed the camera through an access point, usually a cleanout, and guide it through the line. You watch the live video with us as the camera travels through the pipe, and a built-in locator marks the exact spot of any problem above ground.
Water pools around a driveway drain when leaves and sediment have clogged the drain or the line it connects to. Once the drain cannot carry water away fast enough, it backs up and collects on the surface, which a professional cleaning clears.
We inspect the drain and line, remove the leaves and sediment, and use hydro jetting to flush out packed debris when needed. We then run a camera when necessary and test the flow to confirm the whole system is clear.
Yes. When downspout lines and storm drains back up during heavy rain, water can pool against your foundation and work its way into your basement. Keeping these drains clear is one of the best ways to protect your basement from storm flooding.
For most Cincinnati properties, cleaning storm drains once or twice a year is a good idea, especially in the fall after the leaves drop and before the heavy spring rains. Properties with many trees or a sloped yard may need it more often.
