Underground detention system cleaning, storm water basin maintenance, and sewer jetting services for EPA and municipal compliance documentation.
Compliance letters are official documentation proving that your property's storm water management systems, sewer connections, and underground detention systems meet the requirements set by your municipality, the Ohio EPA Division of Surface Water, and other regulatory agencies. Property owners and managers are responsible for maintaining these systems, and failure to comply can result in significant penalties.
Confirming your systems meet current regulatory standards and requirements.
Ensuring proper storm water management to protect waterways and the environment.
Staying ahead of fines, citations, and enforcement actions from regulatory agencies.
Maintaining systems to prevent costly repairs and extend their operational lifespan.
The Ohio EPA Division of Surface Water sets standards for storm water management and wastewater systems throughout the state. Many municipalities in Northeast Ohio require property owners to maintain their underground detention systems, storm water basins, and sewer connections according to these standards. Regular maintenance and documentation are essential for staying in compliance.

Our team visits your property to assess the condition of your systems and determine the scope of work.
We perform the cleaning, maintenance, and inspection work at a time that works for your schedule.
We provide detailed documentation including video evidence and a compliance letter for your records.
A compliance letter from your city is an official notice requiring you to maintain your property's storm water management systems, underground detention systems, or sewer connections according to local regulations. It typically specifies what maintenance is required, the deadline for completion, and documentation that must be submitted as proof of compliance.
This depends on your municipality. Some cities accept the compliance documentation and video evidence we provide, while others may require a follow-up inspection by a city official. We will coordinate with your local authority to ensure all requirements are met and provide any additional documentation needed.
An underground detention system is a series of pipes, chambers, or vaults installed beneath a property to temporarily store storm water runoff. These systems control the rate at which water is released into the municipal storm sewer system, preventing flooding and erosion. Over time, sediment, debris, and vegetation can accumulate in these systems, reducing their capacity and effectiveness.
Yes. All of our work is performed in compliance with OSHA safety requirements. Our technicians are trained in confined space entry, fall protection, and all applicable workplace safety standards. Safety is a top priority on every job site.
Yes. Our Vac Truck and hydro-jetting equipment are specifically designed to remove water, sediment, silt, and debris from underground detention systems. We can clean systems of various sizes and configurations, restoring them to their full storage capacity.
Yes. Overgrown vegetation in storm water basins can impede water flow and reduce system effectiveness. We remove vegetation, roots, and organic debris as part of our basin maintenance services to ensure proper function and compliance.
We understand that compliance deadlines can be tight. Contact us as soon as you receive a compliance letter, and we will work to schedule your assessment and service as quickly as possible. In many cases, we can complete the entire process within the timeline specified by your municipality.
Yes. We provide compliance services for both public and private properties, including commercial developments, industrial facilities, municipalities, and residential communities with shared storm water management systems.
Ignoring a compliance letter can result in escalating penalties, including fines, legal action, and in some cases, the municipality may perform the work themselves and bill you at a significantly higher cost. It is always more cost-effective to address compliance requirements proactively.
The cost depends on several factors including the size and type of system, the amount of sediment and debris to be removed, accessibility of the system, the specific compliance requirements from your municipality, and whether any repairs are needed. We provide free, detailed quotes after our on-site assessment so you know exactly what to expect.
