Understanding Storm Drain Rehabilitation

Storm drain rehabilitation consists of both drain repair and renewal It deals with structural deficiencies and extraneous flow. In general, repairs let pipes continue to function throughout their useful lifespans.

Several methods exist to maintain a storm system's integrity. These can include panel systems, pipe-segment replacement, sliplining, joint or crack sealing, chemical grouting, point repairs, partial replacements, coatings, hydro jetting, fold-and-formed pipelines, pipe bursting, and trenchless pipe lining.

One of the more common lining processes is CIPP pipe lining. CIPP stands for cured-in-place. The technique involves a flexible, epoxy-resin-impregnated liner that is drawn or inverted into a faulty existing line. The liner expands with air pressure to form-fit the interior, where it cures and creates a sturdy new pipe within the old one.

Benefits of Professional Storm Drain Services

Flooding from backed-up storm drains can cause neighborhood delays and structural damage that require storm drain replacement. Sinkholes under buildings and sidewalks sometimes result from voids that can form to the depth of the piping, causing depressions in the ground and creating serious public hazards.

With Federal EC’s storm drain services, rest assured that our team is experienced in locating and clearing blockages that cause backups, such as soil and rocks. We can use high-pressure hydro jetting to clean the interior or remove tree roots. Federal EC is also an expert in sinkhole repair and can use multiple techniques to stabilize sinkhole areas and prevent a recurrence.

Other sinkhole-repair techniques include compaction grouting in bedrock and the inverted filter method for events near structures.

Common Storm Drain Issues

Typical issues that occur in storm drains can be the result of multiple causes, such as deficiencies due to corrosion, failure, construction, or a lack of regular maintenance and storm drain cleaning. Deficiencies include leaking joints, broken pipes, poor-sealing manholes, and extraneous inflow or root infiltration. Roots, debris, and deposits may create blockages and storm-drain backups that flood neighborhoods.

Extraneous inflow can overwhelm the pipe system and lead to surcharging, which can result in overflows in buildings and streets. Through pipe rehabilitation, you can relieve excess pressure from surcharging and escaping through defects, which can speed up deterioration in a pipe or joint. Deterioration allows the soil to enter, degrading and destabilizing surrounding soil and creating voids and sinkholes.
