Cloud 9 Services, LLC was called upon to clean out a storm drain located in a community in Winter Garden, FL. The storm drain was retaining water and had accumulated dirt piled up inside, so it was due for a good cleanout. The storm drain was close to a pond, so a pipe plug was needed to keep the water from entering the pipe while the cleaning was done. This also keeps the pond safe from contamination from the contents of the storm drain from leaking out into it. Utilizing a pump attached pump attached to our trailer truck, the pump was able to dewater the pipe enough so that our JetVac truck could clean out the inside. Once cleaned the pipe plug is taken out and what's left is a clean storm drain ready for continued use.
Storm drains are important in preventing flooding from occurring during heavy rainfall. It ensures that the water gets sucked up inside and distributed along the pipe, as opposed to accumulating in one spot. Storm drains should be cleaned out at least once a year, if not more depending on frequency of use. Our technicians can recommend a cleaning and maintenance program for your specific needs.
