Stormwater Repairs
Navigating Stormwater Repair Services
AQUALIS has the experience and expertise required to provide repair services that ensure proper function for aboveground and underground stormwater assets.
Responsibility to Maintain
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.
Understanding Violations
Property owners are responsible for the treatment of stormwater on their property. If stormwater is not being treated or stored properly, it is due to a failure of your stormwater system. Each municipality reserves the right to issue a corrective notice or NOV that requires you to remediate the issue and return the property to compliance. AQUALIS has the experience and expertise required to provide repair services that ensure proper function for aboveground and underground stormwater control measures (SCMs) while remediating NOVs and avoiding fines.
Repairing an Underground Facility
Combatting Wear and Tear
Stormwater control measures (SCMs) are exposed to constant strain from natural elements. SCMs are the first line of defense against pollutants, sediment and debris. These obstructions compound and without regular maintenance may cause the asset to operate with reduced capacity or fail. Returning an asset to function may be more involved than regular maintenance.
Corrective maintenance is another term to describe these small-scale repairs. These repairs are above the threshold of normal maintenance plan but are not as involved as a rehabilitation.
Maintenance plans may include:
- Visual inspection of structures
- Soil stabilization
- Vegetation removal
- Sediment removal
- Trash and debris removal
- Filter replacement
Prolong The Life of Your Stormwater System
AQUALIS offers comprehensive maintenance and regular servicing solutions tailored to your property to ensure your stormwater systems operate correctly while extending the life of your investment and avoiding costly NOVs.
Assets We Repair
Storm grates in the right of way are prone to issues.
Stormwater ponds hold water permatently or temporarily and may require point repairs or dredging.
Shifting and cracking in concrete infrastructure is common but must be grouted quickly to avoid failure.
Restoring vegetation combats erosion and sedimentation on your property.
Joint Repairs
Joints connecting concrete and cement assets are prone to shifting and should be grouted to ensure stabilization.
Clogged Outlet Control Structure
Debris, sediment and trash can become lodged in outlet control structures and must be removed to restore flow.
Tree Removal
Mature trees can lead to root infiltration that can be detrimental to stormwater systems.
Invasive Species Removal
Cattails and other invasive species should be removed from stormwater systems to allow for native vegetation to thrive.
Over time, sediment collect in stormwater ponds and must be removed.
Riprap swales slow stormwater and prevent erosion, over time these rock may be displaced and should be repaired.
Gabion Wall Repair
Gabion walls and other retention assets experience degradation over time and require infrequent replacement.
Underground pipelines experience wear and tear and may require point repairs or full replacements.
Pond Rehabilitation- Pontiac, Mich.
An educational facility in Pontiac, Mich. completed a pond rehabilitation in which the pond was dredged to remove excessive sediment but was improperly repaired post sediment removal.
