Storm Drain Cleaning in Miami-Dade County
Professional storm drain and catch basin cleaning to prevent flooding, remove debris, and protect your property during Miami's heavy rain season.
Storm drains and catch basins collect rainwater runoff from parking lots, driveways, streets, and properties — channeling it away from structures to prevent flooding. Over time, these drains accumulate leaves, sediment, trash, sand, and organic debris that restrict flow. A clogged storm drain during a Miami downpour means standing water, property damage, and potential liability.
Miami-Dade County's flat terrain, hurricane season (June through November), and frequent afternoon thunderstorms make storm drain maintenance essential — not optional. Properties with an MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) permit are required to maintain their drainage infrastructure. HOA communities, commercial properties, shopping centers, and industrial sites are especially vulnerable to drainage failure during heavy rain events and king tide flooding.
Our storm drain cleaning service includes vacuum truck debris extraction, high-pressure jetting of drain lines, catch basin and inlet cleaning, grate and structure inspection, and sediment removal. We service everything from small residential catch basins to large commercial storm drainage systems. We also offer scheduled maintenance programs — monthly, quarterly, or seasonal — so your property is prepared before the next storm hits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about storm drain cleaning in Miami-Dade.
How often should storm drains be cleaned?
Most commercial properties and HOA communities should schedule storm drain cleaning at least twice per year — once before hurricane season (June) and once after peak leaf drop. Properties with heavy tree cover, high foot traffic, or construction activity may need quarterly service. We'll assess your property and recommend the right schedule.
What are signs that my storm drains need cleaning?
Warning signs include standing water in parking lots or driveways after rain, slow drainage around catch basin grates, visible debris or sediment buildup in drain openings, foul odors from drain grates, and water pooling near building foundations. If you notice any of these, schedule cleaning before the next heavy rain.
Do you offer emergency storm drain service during hurricanes?
Yes. During hurricane season and severe weather events, we provide emergency storm drain clearing to help properties manage flooding. Our vacuum trucks and jetting equipment can restore drainage quickly. We recommend proactive cleaning before the season starts to minimize emergency situations.
