Keep Water Flowing With Professional Storm Drain Cleaning

Drain Bros provides reliable storm drain cleaning and storm drain service for homes, businesses, and commercial properties across Utah. 

Drain Bros has your back

Storm drains do their most important work during heavy rain and snowmelt. But over time, leaves, sediment, trash, and debris build up, slowing everything down and leaving water with nowhere to go.

Drain Bros specializes in storm drain services that keep water moving: clearing clogs, cleaning catch basins, and maintaining storm sewer systems that protect your property from flooding and damage. We find the real cause of a blockage and clear it completely, so you're not left scrambling the next time a storm rolls through.

Our services

Storm drainage is different from the wastewater lines inside your home. It demands equipment and knowledge built for the job. We start by assessing your system to see exactly where water is getting held up.

Our storm drain services cover your full system:

Whatever your system needs, we finish by confirming water is flowing freely and letting you know if anything deeper needs attention. 

Benefits of working with us

Here’s how: 

  • Flood prevention: Clear drains move water away fast, protecting your property from costly water damage.
  • Longer-lasting results: Especially with hydro jetting, we remove buildup completely so your drains stay clear longer.
  • Fewer emergencies: Regular maintenance catches problems before a storm turns them into a crisis.
  • Protects your property value: Proper drainage prevents erosion, foundation issues, and standing water.
  • Honest diagnosis: If a clog points to a bigger issue, we’ll show you and explain your options.

How our process works

We keep storm drain service transparent from start to finish:

  1. Assessment: We evaluate your storm drain or catch basin and identify where water is getting blocked.
  2. Inspection: For deeper or recurring issues, we run a camera to pinpoint the cause and location.
  3. Clearing: Using the right methods, from debris removal to hydro-jetting, we clear the system completely.
  4. Verification: We confirm water is flowing freely through the line and basin.
  5. Maintenance planning: For properties prone to buildup, we recommend a service schedule that keeps things clear year-round.

Our pricing

Storm drain service is priced based on the system's size and type, the severity of the blockage, and the required method. Because every property is different, we always provide a clear, upfront quote before any work begins.

For properties prone to buildup, we offer storm drain maintenance plans on flexible schedules, keeping your system clear and catching issues before they become emergencies. Scheduled maintenance is almost always cheaper than storm-season flooding.

Frequently asked questions

Do storm drains need to be cleaned?
Yes. Storm drains collect leaves, sediment, and debris that slowly restrict water flow. Left unmaintained, they cause pooling and flooding during heavy rain or snowmelt. Most properties benefit from cleaning once or twice a year, with high-debris or commercial systems needing more frequent service.
What is the best way to clear a blocked stormwater drain?
The most effective professional method is hydro jetting: high-pressure water that scours pipes clean of packed sediment, roots, and debris. Unlike a snake, it clears the full pipe for lasting results. A camera inspection first pinpoints the blockage. For minor surface clogs, clearing the grate and flushing with a hose may help.
What dissolves sludge in drains?
It depends on the sludge. Enzyme-based cleaners digest organic buildup safely over time, while baking soda and vinegar handle mild cases. Harsh chemicals work but can damage pipes. For storm drains, sludge is usually sediment, not grease, so physical removal and hydro jetting clear it far more effectively than any dissolver.
What should you not put in a storm drain?
Storm drains usually flow directly to local waterways without treatment, so only clean rainwater should enter them. Keep the following out of your storm drain:

• Chemicals, paint, oil, and automotive fluids
• Grass clippings, leaves, and dirt Pet waste
• Trash and debris
• Construction materials like concrete rinse

These pollute the water and clog the system, causing backups and flooding.
Can I dump soapy water down a storm drain?
No. Even biodegradable soap harms fish and other aquatic life once it enters untreated waterways, and it often violates local regulations. Soapy water from washing cars, cleaning, or similar tasks should go down an indoor drain connected to the sewer system instead, where it gets treated before being released.
How long does storm drain cleaning take?
Most residential storm drain cleanings take a couple of hours, depending on the system size and severity of the blockage. Larger commercial systems or jobs involving multiple catch basins and hydro jetting can take longer. We'll give you a time estimate along with your upfront quote.
Does storm drain cleaning cause a mess?
No. Our crews are equipped to contain and remove debris cleanly, leaving your property the way we found it, only with free-flowing drains. For catch basins and heavy sediment, we haul away what we pull out so nothing is left behind.
What time of year is best for storm drain cleaning?
Fall and early spring are ideal. Cleaning in the fall clears out accumulated leaves and debris before winter snow and rain, while a spring service catches anything that built up over the season. Scheduling before storm season means your system is ready when you need it most.
