Thorough Storm Drain Cleaning Services in Upland, CA

Emergency Storm Drain Clearing in Upland

If water is pooling against your home during a storm, a clogged drain is often the cause. We respond to urgent calls to clear the blockage and get water flowing. In the moment, we focus on the inlet and pipe that are causing the flooding. Once the storm passes, we can clean the rest of the system. We also note any grading or drainage issues that made the problem more severe.

Hydro Jetting for Storm Drains in Upland, CA

Hydro jetting is a powerful solution for deeply clogged storm drains in Upland, CA. This method uses high-pressure water streams to blast away stubborn obstructions like compacted soil, heavy silt, roots, and grease buildup. It is very effective for thoroughly cleaning the inside of the pipe walls, restoring the drain to its full capacity and preventing a quick return of blockages, a common issue with older drainage systems.

Root Removal from Storm Drains in Upland

Tree roots are a common cause of severe storm drain blockages in Upland, especially in older neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots seek out moisture and can infiltrate drain pipes through tiny cracks or loose joints, growing and eventually completely blocking water flow. FKM Plumbing uses specialized root-cutting attachments on our drain snakes and hydro jetting equipment to cut through and remove root intrusions. After removal, we can suggest further steps to prevent future root problems.

Storm Drain Camera Inspection in Upland

Before and after cleaning, or to diagnose the cause of persistent blockages, FKM Plumbing offers storm drain camera inspection in Upland. Using waterproof cameras, we can see the interior of your storm drain lines to identify the exact nature and location of blockages, assess pipe condition, and check for structural damage like cracks or collapses. This non-invasive diagnostic tool gives precise problem identification and lets us provide the most effective and targeted cleaning or repair solutions.

Channel and Trench Drain Cleaning in Upland

Channel drains across driveways and garage entries catch water before it reaches the house. Their narrow channels fill quickly with sand, leaves and debris. We remove the grates, clean the channel and jet the outlet pipe. Cracked or loose grates can be replaced while we are there. A clean trench drain keeps water out of your garage during a downpour.

Catch Basin Cleaning in Upland, CA

This preventative maintenance is key to avoiding larger issues.
