Monthly Storm Drain Maintenance Tips for Central Florida Businesses
Here are practical tips for monthly storm drain maintenance to keep your system in top shape. Whether you’re an RV Park owner or a municipal wastewater manager, your organization can take many steps to keep those drains clear.
- Clear Debris Around Drains
Lawn maintenance should regularly sweep or remove leaves, trash, pine needles, and other debris from the area around storm drain grates and catch basins. And your maintenance department can put an emphasis on watching those drains for branches or litter in between lawn cutting and after rain. - Know Where Your Storm Drains are Located
Seems simple but go around and verify every storm drain yourself. You’d be surprised how many commercial property managers do not know where their storm drains are located. - Inspect for Blockages
Check storm drain grates and catch basins monthly for signs of partial blockages, such as standing water or slow drainage. In addition to your inspections, encourage the public, customers and employees to report backed-up drains. - Trim Nearby Vegetation
Trim trees and shrubs near storm drains to prevent branches, leaves, or roots from entering the system. Crepe Myrtles are a bad choice around a storm drain because they shed all their leaves in the fall. - Monitor After Heavy Rain
After significant rainfall, inspect your storm drains for signs of overflow or debris buildup. Be prepared to clean up debris around storm drains when the weather clears. - Keep Parking Lots Clean
Regularly sweep parking lots to reduce the amount of dirt, litter, and debris that can wash into storm drains. - Schedule Routine Professional Cleanings
Storm Drains require regular maintenance. Let A-Able be your partner by pre-scheduling storm drain jetting and vacuuming.
