Why Storm Drain Cleaning is a Major Need in Chicago

Chicago’s sewer system has been struggling to cope with the unexpected increase in rainfall, leading to frequent flooding in many areas. Clogged storm drains are a significant contributing factor to this problem. Storm drains are designed to capture and divert rainwater away from the streets and buildings, but when they are clogged with debris, the water can back up and cause flooding.

What Causes Storm Drains to Clog?

Every day debris such as roots, leaves, rocks, gravel, dirt, clay, rags, and sand can accumulate in the storm drain over time, causing it to stop draining properly. When you see flooding in your driveway or parking lot during or after a rainstorm, it is a sign that your storm drain needs cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Drain Cleaning

Q: Do I need to be concerned about Storm Drain backups and clogs?

A: Unfortunately, our sewer systems in certain spots of the city have structural issues our City government is wrestling with. Restaurants and other food-producing industry-related businesses tend to back up their drain systems much more than others and are particularly vulnerable to a storm drain backup.

Q: Are sewers and storm drains the same thing?

A: In Chicago, it’s a yes and no situation due to how flat the landscape is. Stormwater systems carry rainwater back into river systems, while sewers collect wastewater from homes and businesses. If you suspect your home or business is at risk, give us a call!

Q: Doesn’t the City handle the Storm Drains, why would I call a plumber?

A: The city handles the major municipal connections to your home or business, but we can handle all storm drainage pipes inside your property line. This includes: 

  • downspout/gutter
  • exterior floor drain and area drains
  • catch basins 
  • patio drains
  • sump pump basins
  • and all residential drain tile systems

Q: How do you clear a blocked storm drain?

A: We use our Hydro Jet machine for most clogged drains. It shoots water at high pressure through carefully selected designed nozzles appropriate for the blockage. For tougher blockages like roots, leaves, rocks, gravel, dirt, clay, rags, sand, and critters, we use our picote machine.

Q: How much does Storm Drain Cleaning cost?

A: Standard drain cleaning fees apply. Check out our coupon to save. Please contact us for more specific pricing information.

Q: My window well branch drain got clogged from the storm drain clog, what now?

A: The basin area needs to be cleared and cleaned out. Please call us for assistance on how to do this.
