Navigating Stormwater Services

Without regular inspection and maintenance, stormwater systems can fall into disrepair. Even with routine care, factors like age, accidents, or defects can result in a system that fails to function as intended. Whatever the cause, it’s essential to correct the system and return performance to the original design parameters in order to pass annual inspections and avoid environmental harm. Oftentimes systems require more than a small-scale restoration. When this occurs a more extensive rehabilitation of the system would be required. Knowing the difference between a restoration and a rehabilitation requires knowledge, skill and precision.

Repairs VS Rehabilitation

When a stormwater system has been damaged, regulations require that the property owner restore the system to its original design. These corrective actions can fall into two categories: restoration and rehabilitation. 

Restoration includes small-scale rehabs required to address operational problems, which can include anything from treatment of invasive plants to stabilization of eroded soils. While these repairs may seem minimal, they typically require licensing and extensive knowledge to ensure that the problem is effectively addressed. 

Rehabilitation is larger in scale, including extensive maintenance and major improvements to address failures within stormwater management systems. These actions may necessitate engineering and construction plans that require review and approval, as well as specialized equipment, construction permits, and more. 

A well-maintained stormwater system can continue to function for 100 years. Preventative maintenance and corrective repairs ensure small issues are caught before they lead to stormwater failure. 

Municipalities may send property owners a notice of violation or corrective notice due to lack of compliance with stormwater regulations. The notice will include the stormwater failure and a timeline to perform repairs. Contact a stormwater professional today to remediate the notice.

Stormwater maintenance is preventative. Regular maintenance ensures the system will continue to operate without major interruptions.

Stormwater maintenance is preventative. Regular maintenance ensures the system will continue to operate without major interruptions however stormwater assets have an expected lifespan. Overtime the assets deteriorate and will eventually need repair.
