Storm Drain Cleaning
Professional storm drain cleaning to prevent your property from damages
Storm drains are usually connected to the road your property is on. Its primary purpose is to allow water to flow from your property and the connected street towards the drain into the nearest river, stream, or ocean. This allows sidewalks and streets to be flood-free so you can drive and walk safely. If your storm drain is not clean, the water might get clogged on the street and sidewalk or get contaminated, so it is ideal to check and clean your storm drain before the rainy season. The best time to get a storm drain cleaned is in the winter on O’ahu, as that is our wettest season. Storm drain cleaning benefits you, your property, the entire neighborhood, and our environment. Alpha Omega Plumbing can help you clean your storm drain so your neighborhood is safe from flood and other negative causes of clogged storm drains.
Reasons to Get a Storm Drain Cleaning
- Prevent roads from flooding: O’ahu is very low-lying, being very close to or at sea level in certain areas. These places are more susceptible to street flooding and require regular maintenance cleaning of storm drains to prevent flooding.
- Reduce erosion: If your streets flood due to unmaintained storm drains, the standing water can erode the soil underneath your property. This can cause landslides or sinkholes which are detrimental to your property.
- Lower risk of water contamination: Storm drains often lead directly into the ocean, so to protect our environment, cleaning a storm drain can remove any pollutants that could get into our oceans. Plus, you could be liable for any damage caused upstream by negligence in cleaning your storm drain.

- If it has been over a year since your last storm drain cleaning, it is recommended to get it cleaned at least once a year.
