Stormwater Inspections
Performing Stormwater Assessments
Stormwater system inspections are required for properties across the United States. Frequency of required inspection may vary from quarterly to annually or every few years. AQUALIS provides certified inspections with a Professional Engineer stamp when required.
Types of Inspections
The involvement of the stormwater inspection also varies as some municipalities require a Professional Engineer, some require a certified stormwater provider and some will send out an inspector from the city to review the system.
AQUALIS can provide a certified inspector with the appropriate equipment and expertise to perform the inspection reliably, efficiently and safely. Each stormwater system implementation — from above-ground bioretention systems and wet detention basins to manufactured underground systems and more — requires a specific inspection checklist.

Best Practice for Property Owners
Inspections After Rain Events
Property owners should visually inspect their stormwater assets after rain events. Regularly assessing the overall condition of stormwater infrastructure can help you identify obvious issues before they compound into large repairs. Aboveground assets can be visually inspected for cracks, build up and pooling of water. If you notice any of these occurring, reach out to a stormwater provider today to schedule a full inspection.
Regularly inspecting your stormwater system ensure that you are aware of the health of your assets. This allows property owners to budget for any potential repairs.
Underground Inspections
Underground infrastructure also requires regular inspection. As these assets are hidden, they are more often forgotten and neglected. To inspect underground storm sewers and vaults, a robotic camera, called CCTV, is used. Storm sewers should always be inspected before cleaning or repairing the asset.
Underground Pipeline Inspections
One of the many challenges property owners face is identifying when stormwater and wastewater pipe degradation has reached a point that requires serious action.
Prolong The Life of Your Stormwater System
AQUALIS offers comprehensive inspections and regular servicing solutions tailored to your property to ensure your stormwater systems operate correctly while extending the life of your investment and maintaining regulatory compliance.
Systems We Inspect
Vegetated system designed to hold a permanent volume of water at all times with extra capacity for rain events.
Vegetated system designed to hold temporary volumes of water during and following a rain event.
Vegetated system designed with specific water quality and quantity aspects to channel runoff while promoting infiltration.
Vegetated system designed with highly permeable soils that facilitate infiltration and groundwater recharge.
Devices installed at pipe or channel outfalls that convert high-velocity channelized flow into diffused sheet flow for infiltration and removal of particulate pollutants.
Outfalls are the drainage or discharge point of a stormwater system. They are designed to convey water away from urban areas.
Underground storage for collecting stormwater. Vaults have a storage capacity that regulates the flow of stormwater as it continues further downstream and off property.
Stormwater Control Measure that allows runoff to filter through layers of media and conveys it downstream.
These assets are collection points that allow stormwater runoff to enter stormwater assets where the water can be stored.
Underground infrastructure, also called pipelines, that convey stormwater from one place to another.
Native vegetation that is used to slow and treat stormwater runoff.
Underground systems that utilize technology and innovations to removal trash, debris, sediment and hydrocarbons from stormwater.
