Storm drainage that has stopped working

Storm drainage problems tend to show up in the same few ways: water ponding in a yard or a lot after rain, water running toward a building instead of away from it, an inlet that overflows, or a sinkhole forming over a buried pipe. Each points to a different cause.

Ponding and overflowing inlets

Often a blockage in the inlet or the pipe below it. Cleaning with a vacuum truck restores flow and allows an inspection.

Water toward the building

Can mean a disconnected or broken downspout drain, or grading that no longer sends water to the inlets.

A sinkhole over a pipe

Usually a broken or separated joint letting soil wash into the pipe. The pipe has to be exposed and the damaged section replaced, and the void filled and compacted.

Repairs follow the usual sequence: a Georgia 811 locate, exposure of nearby utilities with hydro excavation, replacement of the damaged pipe or structure at the right grade, and restoration of the surface.

We also handle water services, sewer laterals and conduit in Marietta for homeowners, businesses and public owners.
