Storm Drainage Maintenance and Cleaning

When storm drains clog, water has nowhere to go. It backs up onto roads, floods parking lots, and seeps into basements, causing property damage that escalates fast. Rhino Services stops that chain reaction with a thorough storm drainage maintenance and cleaning program that clears catch basins, pipes, and culverts before the next heavy rain arrives.

Our crews pair high-pressure water jetting with industrial-strength vacuum removal to tackle the full problem in one pass. The water jetting system blasts through compacted sediment, grease, roots, and debris that have solidified inside the pipe, scouring the walls clean and propelling loosened material toward a collection point. Right behind it, a powerful vacuum truck extracts the slurry of water, mud, and debris and seals it directly into an onboard tank. Nothing gets left behind to resettle and form another blockage. This combination reaches deep into drainage structures that manual methods simply can’t touch, from curb-side catch basins to large-diameter culverts running beneath roadways and commercial properties.

Restoring full hydraulic capacity means that when a storm hits, your system handles the volume instead of backing up. That protection is especially critical ahead of rainy seasons or forecasted heavy weather, when a single clogged drain can overwhelm a parking lot, damage pavement and foundations, and create slip-and-fall hazards. Scheduling proactive maintenance eliminates the scramble and expense of emergency callouts while keeping your property safe and accessible.

All extracted sediment, organic material, and debris are transported off-site and disposed of in strict accordance with environmental guidelines. Rhino manages every load with documented disposal practices, so you have a clear compliance record whether you operate a commercial facility, a municipal system, or an industrial site. No illegal dumping, no shortcuts.

The service adapts to your needs—one-time cleanout, seasonal maintenance contracts, or emergency response after a storm exposes a problem. Each project begins with a site assessment to identify the worst areas of buildup and prioritize cleaning for maximum impact. With Rhino on the job, clogged drains won’t be the reason you face flooding and costly repairs. We keep your drainage infrastructure open, flowing, and ready for whatever the sky delivers.
