Cost Difference Between a Laundry Drain & Storm Water Drain | All Storm Drains Inc. | AllStormDrains.com Long Island NY





General Storm Drain Cleaning Costs



Storm Drain Cleaning costs can be very costly depending on the severity of the situation.  Costs can vary depending on the type and size of drainage system and cause of clog. Storm drains need cleaning when the catch basin is half-full or when flooding occurs in the yard, driveway, streets, or basement after a rainstorm.


Catch Basins can flow directly to a sump, brook, creek, river, lake, bay, and sometimes right to the ocean. It is not uncommon to find used engine oil, antifreeze, and other common solvents and toxins inside of catch basins. I have also found animals stuck in these drains, bullfrogs, a snake, big turtles, fish, and crawfish. I even found my cat Stormy, he was less than two months old stuck in a storm drain. 

Keeping toxins out of Catch Basins and storm drains is very necessary for the environment. Having a reputable company clean your catch basins, storm drains, dry wells, outflow pipes, is also critical. When a business cares to clean a drain correctly and dispose of the material correctly it keeps the environment healthy which benefits all ecosystems, our food, water, animals, and even each other. 

Drainage pipes typically need a video camera inspection to determine the source of clogs or leaks.


Without regular cleaning, backups and clogs can lead to flood, foundation, and septic tank damage. If hydro jetting or snaking doesn't penetrate the clogged area, and dirt, mud, and rocks are removed from the drain, a broken drain pipe may need replacing.

The city or municipality is responsible for cleaning public storms drains. For drainage systems connected to the storm drain, such as catch basins, French drains, yard drainage pipes, or sump pumps, it is the property owner's responsibility.

Avoid using chemical cleaners in storm drains as water flows directly into the closest body of water taking these chemicals with them.


On average residential costs for clogs that occur in the shower, bathtub, kitchen, or bathroom are very smaller in comparison to a storm drain.  This affects the price drastically making them very different in cost than a standard storm drain.
