Stormwater Management for Commercial Buildings

Stormwater management is a critical responsibility for property owners and managers, distribution centers and facility managers. 

From corporate campuses to healthcare facilities and manufacturing sites, commercial properties face unique stormwater challenges. Heavy rainfall, poor drainage and outdated systems can lead to property damage and regulatory penalties.

For more than 20 years, AQUALIS has helped commercial property owners navigate these challenges with commercial stormwater management solutions. With more than 100,000 inspections performed nationwide, our team has successfully helped clients keep their properties safe, protect their communities and stay compliant with local, state and federal regulations.

Whether your facility is proactively managing stormwater or responding to an immediate concern, AQUALIS provides tailored strategies that reduce risks and maintain long-term compliance.

Non-Compliance Resolution & Prevention for the Commercial Market

When a commercial facility fails to meet stormwater regulations, it may receive a Notice of Violation (NOV), also called a Corrective Notice. These notices can lead to expensive fines, damage to reputation and even problems with daily operations if not fixed quickly. If your property receives an NOV, immediate action is essential.

AQUALIS helps resolve non-compliance for commercial stormwater management. Our team creates corrective action plans, performs on-site repairs and builds long-term stormwater compliance solutions to stop future violations. In many cases, we work to reduce or eliminate the fines tied to an NOV.

Routine stormwater inspections are the foundation of stormwater compliance. AQUALIS conducts thorough evaluations of commercial stormwater systems to ensure they function properly and meet regulatory requirements. 

Our team identifies early warning signs of system failure or non-compliance, providing corrective recommendations before issues escalate.

Stormwater repairs

When stormwater infrastructure is damaged, your property is at risk of commercial flooding damage and regulatory violations. 

AQUALIS provides prompt stormwater repair services for drainage systems, culverts, inlets and pipes that have deteriorated or been damaged by severe weather or lack of maintenance. We resolve these issues and more to minimize downtime and restore compliance.

stormwater maintenance

Ongoing maintenance ensures stormwater systems remain operational and compliant. 

AQUALIS offers scheduled maintenance programs that extend system life, improve efficiency and prevent costly failures. Our technicians handle debris removal and preventative care to support uninterrupted facility operations.

Our proactive maintenance approach gives property managers confidence that their systems meet standards year-round.

Sinkholes present serious risks to commercial properties, threatening both safety and infrastructure stability. Left unaddressed, they cause costly damage to stormwater systems and other facilities. 

AQUALIS provides specialized sinkhole repair and rehabilitation services to restore compromised areas and prevent further subsurface damage. 

stormwater outfall

Stormwater discharge must meet strict environmental guidelines. AQUALIS provides discharge monitoring services that test water quality, track pollutant levels and ensure discharges remain within compliance thresholds. Results are documented and shared to support facility reporting requirements.

stormwater vactor services

Stormwater systems frequently accumulate debris and sediment buildup over time. Without proper cleaning, this can lead to backups and flooding that increase the chance of damage and compliance issues. 

AQUALIS provides advanced vactor services to remove buildup and restore water flow in stormwater systems. Our solutions use high-powered vacuums and water jetting methods to remove sediment, trash and blockages from catch basins, pipes and other stormwater structures.

Our vactor services ensure your facility’s infrastructure operates efficiently and within regulatory standards.

Environmental Services for Commercial Buildings

Environmental compliance is critical for commercial and industrial facilities. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires some properties to maintain Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) that limit pollutants and protect nearby waterways. Failure to comply can lead to costly fines and operational challenges. Your property may also have an Operations & Maintenance Agreement (O&M) that outlines recommended maintenance and inspection schedules.

AQUALIS helps property owners and facility managers meet these requirements with tailored environmental services. We design and implement O&Ms, SWPPPs, perform audits and supply documentation needed to satisfy federal, state and local regulations. Our proactive approach prevents violations and supports long-term sustainability goals.

We also integrate green infrastructure into our commercial stormwater management services. Features like native landscaping, rain garden and permeable pavement reduce runoff, improve water quality and cut maintenance costs. 

Wastewater Services for the Commercial Market

Unlike stormwater, wastewater comes from inside a property—through restrooms, process water and internal systems, requiring specialized treatment. Wastewater management is critical to keeping commercial and industrial facilities efficient and compliant. 

AQUALIS provides complete lift station solutions, including engineering design, system monitoring and ongoing maintenance. Our team ensures lift stations operate reliably while meeting federal, state and local regulations. We also use vactor services to clean and maintain assets, preventing costly failures and protecting public health.

With AQUALIS, property managers can rely on one partner for both wastewater and commercial stormwater management.

Parking Lot Drainage & Flooding Management

Parking lots and paved areas are among the most common sources of drainage problems for commercial and industrial facilities. Standing water, erosion and pavement damage not only disrupt operations but also create safety and liability concerns.

AQUALIS provides specialized services to identify and correct the causes of commercial flooding and parking lot drainage issues. Our solutions restore functionality, prevent recurrence and extend the life of paved assets.
