AQUALIS
Nationwide Commercial Stormwater Solutions
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 Heavy rainfall, poor drainage and outdated systems can lead to property damage and regulatory penalties.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, we provide tailored strategies that reduce risks and maintain long-term compliance.
Stormwater Compliance for Commercial Sites
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 a stormwater 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 commercial stormwater compliance solutions to stop future violations. In many cases, we work to reduce or eliminate the fines tied to an NOV.
Tailored Commercial Building Stormwater Management for Every Facility Type
No two commercial properties are the same, and neither are their stormwater obligations. A retail shopping center, distribution warehouse and healthcare campus each have different volumes of runoff, operate under different permit types and face different regulatory pressures. Effective commercial building stormwater management requires solutions that are tailored around the unique demands of your site rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
AQUALIS designs and delivers commercial stormwater solutions scaled to the size, use and permit requirements that your facility has. Whether you manage a single commercial building or a fleet of properties spread across multiple states, we can develop a program that covers inspections, maintenance, record-keeping and repairs through one coordinated service relationship. Our goal is to make stormwater compliance for commercial sites simple and sustainable by reducing the administrative burden on your team and the risk of violations year over year.
Commercial Stormwater Services We Offer
AQUALIS delivers comprehensive commercial stormwater services. Our solutions protect facilities against costly damages and violations while keeping stormwater infrastructure at its best.
Routine stormwater inspections are the foundation of stormwater compliance. We conduct 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.
When stormwater infrastructure is damaged, your property is at risk of flooding damage and regulatory violations. We provide prompt commercial 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.
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. We provide specialized sinkhole repair and rehabilitation services to restore compromised areas and prevent further subsurface damage.
Stormwater discharge must meet strict environmental guidelines. We provide 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 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. We offer 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.

Commercial Case Studies
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 gardens 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 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 our expert team, property managers can rely on one partner for both wastewater and commercial stormwater management.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Stormwater Management
What are commercial stormwater management services?
Commercial stormwater management services include inspection, maintenance, repair and compliance management of stormwater systems for commercial properties. AQUALIS offers a full range of commercial stormwater services like vactor cleaning, CCTV pipe inspection, catch basin repair, pond management, SWPPP development and NOV resolution.
Why is stormwater compliance important for commercial properties?
Commercial properties are required by federal, state and local law to manage stormwater runoff. Failing to maintain stormwater compliance for a commercial site can mean receiving a Notice of Violation, which comes with significant fines and can significantly impact operations. A proactive approach to compliance management can be considerably cheaper than a reactive response.
What are the best stormwater pollution prevention plans for commercial properties?
A strong Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is specific to a given site, regularly updated and tied to any permit conditions related to the property. AQUALIS develops and maintains SWPPPs for commercial building stormwater management to ensure your plan reflects any present site conditions, documents all management practices and satisfies permit requirements.
Who prepares stormwater compliance documentation for commercial properties?
AQUALIS prepares stormwater compliance documentation for commercial facilities across the country, including SWPPPs, Stormwater Management Plans (SWMPs), inspection records and regulatory documents. We can keep your documents organized, up to date and ready for any audit or inspection.
What are the best water quality testing services for commercial properties?
AQUALIS provides testing for stormwater and industrial water, as well as discharge monitoring for commercial properties. We conduct on-site sampling and coordinate laboratory analysis to determine pollutant levels, support permit compliance and document any results.
How often should a commercial property have its stormwater system inspected?
Inspection frequency will vary, depending on your permit type and jurisdiction. In most cases, commercial stormwater permits require at least annual inspections, usually with quarterly or monthly checks. We can develop a customized inspection schedule based on your specific permit obligations and site conditions.
What happens if a commercial property receives a Notice of Violation for stormwater?
A Notice of Violation requires your immediate attention and action. Penalties for these notices will increase the longer it goes unaddressed. We help commercial properties assess the scope of the violation, create a corrective action plan and coordinate with regulatory authorities to correct the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible.
