Inspection &
Maintenance
What is it?
Stormwater inspection and maintenance involve regularly evaluating and servicing stormwater infrastructure — such as catch basins, detention ponds, bioswales, and underground systems — to ensure everything functions as designed. This includes removing sediment, repairing structural components, and checking for compliance with regulatory standards.
Why it matters?
Over time, stormwater systems can become clogged, damaged, or degraded, leading to flooding, erosion, water quality violations, and fines. Routine inspections and maintenance are not only required under most local and state regulations (including NPDES permits), but they also extend the lifespan of your infrastructure and help avoid costly emergency repairs. A proactive approach keeps your site safe, compliant, and environmentally responsible
You need inspection and maintenance services when:
Your site has a Stormwater Management Permit or is under NPDES regulation
You’re required to submit annual or semi-annual inspection reports
Your stormwater system is over 6 months old and may show signs of sediment buildup or vegetation overgrowth
You're preparing for a local, state, or EPA compliance audit
You notice standing water, slow drainage, or erosion on your site
You’ve just completed construction, and a maintenance plan is required as part of your SWPPP closure
Regular inspections aren’t just a box to check — they’re the backbone of stormwater performance and environmental compliance
