What Does Storm Drain Cleaning Include?

Storm drains in Los Angeles collect runoff from rainfall, landscape irrigation, and exterior washing. Over time, silt, leaves, trash, and oil can clog these drains. Zoom Drain of Los Angeles provides a comprehensive storm drain cleaning service that includes:

  • Debris removal: We clear out visible and hidden buildup that can slow or block water flow.
  • High-pressure jetting: Our equipment dislodges stubborn sediment and greasy residue inside pipes.
  • Inspection: We inspect for damage, buildup, or early warning signs of operational issues.

Our storm drain cleaning process handles typical issues seen in Los Angeles, from heavy city debris to seasonal eucalyptus leaves. We plan service visits to minimize business, tenant, or resident disruption.

We also adapt our approach for the area’s diverse sewer systems, which require precise handling to protect city utilities and remain within codes. Our crew matches cleaning methods to each site, taking into account features like drain covers, channel inlets, or hard-to-access piping to support compliance and safety. Our goal is to remove deposits efficiently and restore proper flow, helping your property withstand future rainfall without issue.

The Zoom Drain of Los Angeles Drain Line Cleaning Process

Local and California codes require stormwater systems in Los Angeles to function properly. Our storm drain cleaning process emphasizes efficiency and clear communication from start to finish:

  • We assess each storm drain for location, accessibility, and signs of blockage.
  • Our team reviews recommended cleaning approaches and the possible results with you.
  • Once approved, we clean out debris and flush the complete drain line to clear water flow.
  • If we notice maintenance issues, we suggest timely, practical recommendations that suit your property and schedule.

Our team adapts to each location—whether it is an apartment community, office building, or municipal road—making sure we follow local ordinances and property needs.

Los Angeles properties often have unique access challenges, such as parking structures or landscaped courtyards. We coordinate with property contacts to choose cleaning times that minimize interruptions, with most jobs finished in one visit. We document our work so property owners have records for future planning and city inspection needs. If we uncover added concerns, we discuss these promptly, supporting your ongoing maintenance plans. Our approach keeps you informed and in control through the entire process.

Why Invest in Regular Storm Drain Cleaning in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles enforces stormwater management requirements to protect both infrastructure and the environment. A blocked drain can cause expensive water damage, flooding, and regulatory penalties. By scheduling regular storm drain cleaning in Los Angeles, you:

  • Prevent property damage by keeping water flowing and minimizing backups
  • Reduce slip-and-fall risks in busy areas and parking lots
  • Support compliance with runoff management ordinances
  • Protect local waterways from polluted runoff and debris

The City of Los Angeles’s Clean Water Program holds private property owners responsible for maintaining debris-free storm drains, particularly before and after rainy seasons. Clogs can affect neighboring sites and sometimes lead to disputes between businesses on a block. Scheduling regular cleaning protects your investment, prevents costly problems, and helps your property meet important inspection standards from local authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should storm drains be professionally cleaned?

Most commercial and multi-family properties in Los Angeles schedule cleaning annually, but sites with high traffic or lots of debris may need more frequent service, especially after storms or landscaping work.

Are property owners in Los Angeles responsible for maintaining storm drains?

Yes. Property owners must maintain storm drain systems within their property boundaries. Neglecting this responsibility can result in code violations and expensive repairs due to water damage.

What are signs of a clogged storm drain?

Pooled water at drain inlets, slow draining after rain, and unpleasant odors suggest a blockage. Overflowing drains during a storm also point to the need for cleaning.

What methods ensure storm drains are fully cleared?

Professional cleaners use specialized tools, including high-pressure jetters and vacuums, to eliminate debris that blocks water flow and restore proper drainage.

Does the city of Los Angeles clean storm drains on private property?

No. The city maintains public storm drains, but property owners are responsible for cleaning and maintaining drains on their own land.

lisa moorehead
I had a great experience with Zoom Drain. I found them exceptional, from start to finish. Responsive to my inquiry, showed up on time, explained the work and solution, power jet loaded on the truck, completed the job fully and professionally. Don't fall for the scam propagated by so many other plumbers - they break a huge sweat running a snake down the clean out, pull out some roots telling you they've never seen such a messed up sewer line, take a picture telling you they need to dig up your yard to replace the sewer line, then send you a $20K estimate. You won't get any of that non-sense from Zoom Drain. They're honest, professional, and competent.
Greg M
Nian did a thorough job of unclogging some problem areas in my house's plumbing and fixed a leaky connection. He was kind and professional, and the whole service experience was a great one.
Nathan
ZOOM Drain of Los Angeles has the best, all-around customer service I’ve experienced in a very long time. Some of the things that impressed me the most are as follows. They’re open 24/7 and I desperately needed repair for a large cracked galvanized pipe. I took a shot and I called at 3:45 AM!! Their representative Nian answered the phone!! And at that time of the morning, he was very pleasant, understanding, and patiently listened. He scheduled an appointment for noon later that day!! When he arrived he determined what services were needed. I also spoke to the office manager. I think her name is Priscilla. She was pleasant, handled the paperwork, invoice, etc. very efficiently…she too was great! I was already very happy with the great customer service of this company. Then 2 days later, Shilo Hosman, their plumber/technician arrived. He greeted me with a genuine smile, was very pleasant and respectful to me and of my property. He completed the job beautifully and quicker than the timeframe promised. He cleaned up the work area so well, I couldn’t tell any work was done!! This was my first experience with a plumber cleaning up at that level, and it was truly appreciated! Also, I have to say Shiloh was able to successfully complete the job that another plumber 3 days before wasn’t able to do. So thank you again Shiloh for doing such an excellent job. You’re extremely skilled and a great person and definitely deserve to be recognized! As does this company for providing such all-around, great customer service!
Cheryl Green
Very nice and professional group of people to have on your side. I can't say enough nice things about Zoom Drain.

The drainage pipe under my kitchen sink was leaking. This company arranged an engineer to come within just 2 hours. The team was very professional, worked neatly and efficiently, and solved the problem quickly. Most importantly, the price was very reasonable — much cheaper than other companies, while being both fast and high-quality. Highly recommended! ✅
Lili Li
Shiloh really helped me out in a time crunch and with good price! Highly recommend him. I'll always choose Zoom Drain!
alicia milani
Zoom Drain provided exceptional customer service. We had an emergency issue, and they were able to come to our home within an hour. They offered several options to help resolve the problem. Both the owner and Shilo came to assess the situation. Shilo was great—he explained the entire procedure and took care of the issue efficiently.
Gio B
I had Zoom Drain come to do a camera inspection of our sewer system. They showed everything while doing the inspection. The staff were extremely professional and honest, which I really appreciated. I will definitely continue to use them for years to come.
Margo De Oliveira
I contacted Zoom because another plumbing company, Finest Plumbing, gave me a fake report trying to simply upsell their services. Zoom thoroughly checked and assessed the problem with the sewer line, which was totally opposed to Finest Plumbing's upsell fake assessment. Zoom provided on-site camera proof of the problem. Zoom agents were very helpful and showed they had integrity in providing their services.
