Service · Calgary
Calgary's spring melt and summer storms put real pressure on storm drainage. We clean and inspect catch basins, storm lines and weeping tile connections so water is carried away from your property instead of pooling around it.
- Reduced flooding and pooling risk
- Better protection for foundations and pavement
- Seasonal maintenance options
Overview
Storm drainage carries rain and snowmelt away from your building through catch basins, area drains, downspout connections and storm lines. When those fill with sediment and debris, water pools — on parking lots, against foundations and in low spots.
We clean catch basins, jet storm lines and inspect them on camera so stormwater keeps moving, especially through Calgary's spring melt and summer storm season.
No clear, no clearing charge
On eligible standard blockages.
Spot Problems Early
Problems build up gradually. Watch for these warning signs before a small issue becomes a backup.
Pooling after rain
Water sitting on lots, driveways or yards.
Slow catch basins
Grates that take a long time to drain.
Debris-filled grates
Leaves, gravel and litter covering inlets.
Ice build-up
Standing water that freezes into hazards in winter.
Water near foundations
Moisture against walls or seeping into basements.
Sinkholes or settling
Can signal a broken storm line below.
Root Causes
Understanding the cause is how we stop a problem from coming back — not just clear it for today.
01Sediment & gravel
Winter sanding washes straight into catch basins.
02Leaves & organic debris
Fall leaves pack inlets and lines.
03Root intrusion
Storm lines are just as vulnerable to roots as sewers.
04Damaged pipe
Frost heave and heavy traffic crack older storm lines.
