Slow drains, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odors, or multiple drains backing up at the same time can indicate a blockage or buildup in the line.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean buildup and debris from inside drain and sewer lines. Depending on the condition of the line, it can be an effective way to remove grease, sludge, and other buildup.

A camera inspection can help locate blockages, damaged piping, roots, offsets, or other problems inside a sewer or drainage line. It is especially helpful when problems keep returning or when the cause of a blockage is not obvious.

A lift station collects wastewater in a basin and uses pumps to move it to a higher elevation or into another sewer line when gravity alone cannot move the wastewater where it needs to go.

Routine maintenance is extremely important. Pumps, floats, controls, alarms, electrical components, and the wet well should be inspected regularly to help identify problems before they become costly emergencies.

Yes. 24-hour emergency lift station service is available for Drainage Solutions contracted lift station maintenance customers. A maintenance agreement helps ensure that we are familiar with your system and can respond appropriately when an emergency occurs.

Standing water can result from poor grading, clogged or damaged drainage systems, undersized piping, blocked catch basins, drainage failures, or heavy rainfall. Determining the cause is the first step in choosing the proper drainage solution.

Yes. Drainage Solutions provides storm drain, catch basin, and drainage system cleaning and maintenance for residential, commercial, municipal, and property-management customers.

Vactor equipment combines powerful vacuum capabilities with high-pressure water to remove sediment, debris, sludge, and other material from storm drains, catch basins, sewer lines, and similar systems.

The proper schedule depends on the size of the unit, the amount of grease produced, business volume, and applicable local requirements. Restaurants and commercial kitchens should maintain a regular pumping schedule rather than waiting for the system to become full or cause a backup. A manifest will be provided.

Grease, food solids, and other material can accumulate inside the system and lead to odors, slow drains, backups, overflows, and other costly problems. Routine pumping and maintenance help keep the system operating properly.

Slow kitchen drains, strong grease or sewage odors, backups, overflowing fixtures, or a grease interceptor that has reached its capacity are common signs that service may be needed. Regular preventive maintenance is preferable to waiting for these problems to occur.

A backflow prevention device helps protect the potable water supply by preventing contaminated or non-potable water from flowing backward into the clean water system.

Testing requirements can vary depending on the device and the local water authority, usually done annually. Many commercial backflow devices require periodic certification. Drainage Solutions can perform backflow testing and help customers stay current with applicable requirements.

A failed device may require repair or replacement before it can pass certification. Drainage Solutions provides backflow testing, repair, replacement, installation, and certification services.

A Vactor truck is a powerful combination vacuum and high-pressure water jetting truck used to clean, clear, and maintain underground drainage and sewer systems. It can remove water, mud, sand, grease, sludge, roots, and other debris while also using high-pressure water to clean pipes and structures.

We use our Vactor equipment for storm drains, catch basins, sanitary sewer lines, lift stations, drainage pipes, manholes, and other underground drainage structures. It is especially useful when heavy debris or buildup cannot be removed with standard equipment.

Yes. High-pressure water jetting can remove grease, sediment, sludge, roots, and other buildup from drainage and sewer lines. The vacuum system can then remove the loosened material instead of leaving debris behind in the system.
