Water Management Services in Greensboro, NC

Responsible + Reliable Water Management Solutions & Services

Greensboro is changing how stormwater systems on private property get inspected. Under the city’s updated SCM program, property owners will be responsible for hiring a certified inspector, completing needed maintenance and submitting annual inspection documentation to the city for review. The city hasn’t announced when enforcement begins, but the owners who plan ahead will have the easiest transition.

AQUALIS handles every step of that process. Our inspectors document your system’s condition, our crews complete the maintenance and repairs an inspection calls for and our team prepares the records the city expects to see. With more than 100,000 maintenance and inspection visits completed nationwide each year, we bring proven experience to every Greensboro property we serve.

Pond Repair & Maintenance

Retention & Detention Ponds

The city’s stormwater inventory has grown from about 580 stormwater control measures in 1998 to more than 1,100 today, according to the City of Greensboro. Many are retention ponds, which hold water year-round, and detention ponds, which store runoff temporarily after heavy rain.

These ponds sit behind shopping centers, office parks, warehouses and neighborhood entrances, and each one needs regular care to control flooding and filter pollutants. We keep them clear of blockages, sediment and overgrowth so they perform the way they were designed.

Pond Dredging

Every storm carries sediment into your pond. Over time, that buildup shrinks the pond’s storage capacity, which leads to flooding, odors and failed inspections. Our crews removes accumulated sediment and debris through mechanical and hydraulic dredging, restoring the volume your pond needs to handle Greensboro’s heavy summer storms.

Pond Erosion Control

Eroding banks send soil into the pond and downstream toward Greensboro’s creeks. Left alone, erosion undercuts slopes, exposes pipes and becomes an inspection finding. We identify what’s driving the erosion and stabilize shorelines with riprap, vegetation and regrading so the problem doesn’t return.

Pond Restoration

Many of the area’s ponds were built decades ago and are now due for significant work. When years of deferred maintenance leave a pond overgrown, filled with sediment or structurally damaged, AQUALIS restores it to its original function. We repair outlet structures, reestablish flow and bring the pond back into compliance.

Compliance Inspection

The city’s state-issued stormwater permit requires every stormwater control measure to be inspected annually and maintained regularly, according to the City of Greensboro. Coming soon under the updated program, that inspection becomes the owner’s responsibility, and the documentation you submit becomes your record of compliance. No enforcement date has been announced, so scheduling your inspection now keeps you ahead of the change.

Our inspectors evaluate each system against its approved design and maintenance plan, including ponds, swales, outfalls, catch basins and underground systems. We check structural condition, sediment levels, vegetation, erosion and how well water moves through the system. When a problem can’t be seen from the surface, CCTV cameras let us inspect underground pipes without digging. Every inspection includes photo documentation, clear findings and a Professional Engineer stamp when required, so your submittal is complete the first time.

Stormwater Maintenance

The easiest inspection to pass is one on a well-maintained system. The city directs owners to complete necessary maintenance before their inspection is due, so we build maintenance and inspections into a single schedule.

Maintenance matters beyond your property line here. The city draws its drinking water from Lake Higgins, Lake Brandt and Lake Townsend, according to its annual Water Quality Report, and much of its runoff flows toward Jordan Lake, a drinking water source for communities across central North Carolina. Our customized maintenance plans include sediment removal, catch basin cleaning, vegetation management and debris removal. Sites that meet the city’s maintenance standards may also qualify for stormwater utility credits under its Stormwater Management Manual.

Stormwater Infrastructure Rehabilitation

An inspection finding isn’t the end of the process. It’s the start of a repair. AQUALIS fixes the problems inspections uncover, from collapsed pipes and sinkholes to damaged catch basins and failing outlet structures. For aging systems, our engineers assess whether rehabilitation methods such as pipe relining can extend service life without full replacement. Every repair is documented, giving you a clear record for the city that the issue has been resolved.
