Emergency Storm Drain Clearing in Yarmouth

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 moving. 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 worse.

Storm Drain Camera Inspection in Yarmouth

Before and after cleaning, or to diagnose the cause of persistent blockages, BKN Plumbing offers storm drain camera inspection in Yarmouth. 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 Yarmouth

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 Services in Yarmouth

Catch basins are vital parts of many storm drainage systems in Yarmouth, designed to trap debris before it enters the main pipes. Over time, these basins can fill with leaves, trash, and sediment, reducing their effectiveness. Our service includes thoroughly cleaning out catch basins, removing built-up material so they work correctly and prevent blockages further down the storm drain line, especially important in areas with mature trees.

Hydro Jetting for Storm Drains in Yarmouth, ME

Hydro jetting is a proven solution for deeply clogged storm drains in Yarmouth, ME. This method uses high-pressure water streams to wash out 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.

Dry Well Cleaning and Inspection in Yarmouth, ME

Dry wells let storm water soak into the ground instead of flowing to a street. They are found on commercial sites, HOA common areas and some residential lots. Silt slowly seals the settling chamber and the drainage rock, slowing how fast water drains. We vacuum the chamber, inspect the inlet and outlet, and check drain-down time. If the dry well no longer drains properly, we explain options for rehabilitation or replacement.
