Clear Lines Before the Next Storm Hits

When your storm sewer line fills with sediment, leaves, roots, or debris, it can't move water away from your property as quickly as it should. In Manteno, where spring rains and fall leaf drop add constant pressure to drainage systems, a clogged storm line leads to slow drainage, standing water, and eventually backups into your basement or yard. Allied Water Services cleans storm sewer lines using high-capacity jetting and mechanical tools that remove blockages and restore full flow before the next heavy rain.

The cleaning process involves inserting a high-pressure water jetter or rotary cutter into the line to break up sediment, roots, and buildup that restricts flow. Allied Water Services services residential, commercial, and municipal storm systems and can clean lines of varying diameter and length. The work is often done as preventive maintenance to avoid backups, or as part of a response to slow drainage or recurring flooding issues.

If you're noticing slow drainage or pooling water after storms in Manteno, contact Allied Water Services to schedule a storm sewer cleaning.

What Cleaning Removes From Storm Lines

Your storm sewer line collects everything that washes off your roof, driveway, and lawn during rain events. Over time, that includes sand, dirt, leaves, small branches, and root intrusion from nearby trees. In Manteno, clay soil and seasonal debris make regular cleaning especially important for keeping lines open. Allied Water Services uses a truck-mounted jetter that blasts water through the pipe at high pressure, scouring the walls and flushing material out through the cleanout or downstream connection.

After the line is cleaned, water drains quickly during storms without backing up or pooling near your foundation. You'll see gutters empty properly, yard inlets clear, and no more standing water in low spots after heavy rain. The system works the way it did when it was first installed, moving runoff efficiently away from your property.

Allied Water Services can clean storm lines on a one-time or recurring maintenance schedule depending on your property's needs. If roots are a recurring issue, the crew can recommend root treatment or pipe repair to reduce future blockages. The service does not include landscaping or inlet replacement, but it ensures the line itself is clear and functional.

Property owners often ask how often cleaning is needed, what signs indicate a clogged line, and whether cleaning can damage older pipes.
