Standing water in parking lots or roadways after rain 
Slow drainage from catch basins during rainfall 
Water backing up from storm drains 
Flooding in previously well-drained areas 
Overflowing catch basins or inlets 
Visible clogging at culvert entrances 
Reduced flow capacity in drainage channels 
 
   
Visual Clues 
These observable conditions indicate service is required:
Sediment buildup visible in catch basins

   Frequently Asked Questions About Vactor Stormwater Services 
How often should stormwater systems be cleaned? 
Cleaning frequency depends on several factors including debris load, surrounding vegetation, development activity, and rainfall patterns. Most commercial and municipal stormwater structures benefit from annual cleaning, while some high-load areas may require quarterly service. We can help establish an appropriate maintenance schedule based on your specific system and conditions.
   
Will stormwater system cleaning disrupt business operations? 
We make every effort to minimize disruption to normal activities. Many services can be scheduled during off-hours, early mornings, or weekends. For retail and commercial properties, we work efficiently with proper safety measures to limit impact on customer access. During the scheduling process, we'll discuss options to find the least disruptive approach for your specific situation.
   
How long does stormwater system cleaning take? 
Timing varies based on system size and condition. A typical small to medium commercial property with standard catch basins and connecting pipes might require 4-8 hours for complete service. Larger properties, municipal systems, or heavily contaminated systems may require multiple days. We provide time estimates during the assessment phase based on your specific infrastructure.
   
Can you clean systems during rainy weather? 
While light rain doesn't typically prevent service, we generally avoid scheduling during heavy rainfall for several reasons: safety concerns, reduced effectiveness as systems actively carry water, and difficulty in assessing complete debris removal. For emergency flooding situations, we can implement specialized protocols to address critical blockages even during wet weather.
   
Do you provide emergency stormwater system cleaning? 
Yes, we offer emergency response for urgent situations such as flooding, complete blockages threatening property, or pre-storm preventive clearing. Our team prioritizes emergency calls and works to respond as quickly as possible throughout our service area, typically within 24 hours and often same-day for critical situations in the Asheville metro area.
