Catch Basin Cleaning Services in Davis
Catch basins are vital parts of many storm drainage systems in Davis, 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.
Emergency Storm Drain Clearing in Davis
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 worse.
Channel and Trench Drain Cleaning in Davis
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.
Storm Drain Camera Inspection in Davis
Before and after cleaning, or to diagnose the cause of persistent blockages, FBL Plumbing offers storm drain camera inspection in Davis. 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.
Preventative Storm Drain Maintenance Plans in Davis, CA
For properties in Davis, CA prone to frequent storm drain issues, FBL Plumbing offers tailored preventative maintenance plans. These plans involve scheduled inspections and cleanings, matched to your property's needs and local conditions. Regular preventative maintenance helps avoid unexpected emergency blockages, lengthens the lifespan of your storm drainage system, and saves you money on costly repairs in the long run. Keep your drains clear all year with our proactive approach.
Root Removal from Storm Drains in Davis
Tree roots are a common cause of severe storm drain blockages in Davis, 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. FBL 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.
Residential Storm Drain Cleaning in Davis
Homes in Davis are especially vulnerable to storm drain issues due to changing weather and local landscaping. We clear leaves, twigs, silt, and other natural debris that can collect in residential storm drains, preventing rainwater from backing up into yards or foundations. Our service protects your home's perimeter and keeps water moving away from sensitive areas, especially during heavy rain. Strong winter storms can bring days of heavy rain to Northern California, saturating ground and pushing water into crawlspaces and sewer lines.
Yard and Area Drain Cleaning in Davis
Yard drains and area inlets collect runoff from lawns, rock landscaping and patios. Over time the grates fill with leaves and the pipes fill with silt and small gravel. We pull the grates, vacuum the inlet box and jet the pipe toward its outlet. This restores the line so it can carry a full storm. We also check that grates are secure and seated.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Drain Cleaning in Davis
The cost of storm drain cleaning in Davis typically ranges from $200 to $600, depending on the severity of the clog, the size of the drain, and the equipment required. More complex blockages or those requiring extensive hydro jetting may be at the higher end of this range. We provide upfront pricing before any work starts.
If our video inspection shows that your storm drain is damaged, such as collapsed, cracked, or severely invaded by roots, cleaning alone will not solve the problem. We will provide a detailed assessment and discuss repair or replacement options, including trenchless methods where appropriate, for a long-term solution for your Davis property.
While you can remove surface debris from drain grates, deeply clogged storm drains need professional tools like hydro jetters and camera equipment for effective cleaning. DIY attempts can sometimes push debris further down or damage the pipes, leading to more costly repairs. It is safer and more effective to hire a professional.
Common signs of a clogged storm drain include standing water in your yard or driveway after rain, water overflowing from catch basins, unusual pooling near downspouts, or slow drainage in outdoor areas. You might also notice debris piling up around drain grates, a sign the system is failing to clear water.
Common signs include water pooling around your property after rain, slow drainage from downspouts, visible debris collecting at catch basin grates, and unusual odors coming from the drains. If you notice any of these, it is a good idea to have your storm drains inspected.
In Davis, common causes of storm drain clogs include built-up leaves, dirt, and organic debris from trees, silt and sediment from soil erosion, trash, and sadly, sometimes even illegally dumped waste. Tree root intrusion into the pipes is also a major factor, especially in older systems.
Yes. Clogged storm drains keep water from draining away from your property. This can lead to water pooling around your home's foundation, especially where soils swell when wet. Earthquakes and hillside soil movement are real risks in Northern California, so flexible connections and seismic straps help protect plumbing from ground movement. Over time, this excess moisture can cause foundation shifting, cracks, and expensive structural damage, making proper drainage critical.
Cleaning does not need a permit. New dry wells or major drainage changes may require permits or registration, and we can guide you.
