Drainage
Storm Drain Repair & Replacement
Storm lines carry roof and surface water away from the house. When one collapses or fills with roots, that water ends up against the foundation instead.
Warning signs
- Downspouts backing up during rain
- Water surfacing in the yard over the line
- Standing water near the foundation after storms
- A catch basin that no longer drains
What the inspection involves
- Trace the storm line and locate access points
- Camera the line where access allows
- Confirm the outlet and where the water is supposed to go
- Identify the defect and its depth and location
Possible approaches
- Spot repair of a collapsed or root-filled section
- Full storm line replacement with proper slope
- New catch basins, downspout tie-ins and outlets
Scope limitations
Storm lines are separate from the sanitary sewer. Shared or municipal storm systems set limits on where the water can be routed.
What affects the price
- Length and depth of the run
- Restoration of drive, walk or landscaping
- Outlet availability
- Permits where required
