Storm Sewer Replacement Services Built for High Water Volume

When your storm sewer line collapses or backs up during heavy rain, water has nowhere to go. You see flooding in the street, pooling near driveways, or water running back toward your foundation instead of away from it. Allied Water Services replaces failing storm sewer lines with modern materials built to handle high water volume without cracking, collapsing, or clogging under pressure.

Storm sewer replacement means removing the old pipe and installing a new line with proper grading and outlet placement. This is not a patch or repair—it's a full swap of the failing infrastructure. The new system is sized to manage the runoff your property produces during storms, even when rainfall is sustained and intense. We handle all permits and required inspections so the work stays compliant from start to finish.

If your system is outdated or undersized for your lot, a replacement may be the only way to restore reliable drainage during the next storm.

What to Expect When You Book

The process starts with locating the failing section and identifying where the outlet needs to discharge. You'll see excavation equipment on site, trenching along the storm sewer path, and a crew working to remove broken pipe sections. Modern storm pipe is installed with the correct slope so water moves efficiently without standing or backing up.

After installation, you'll notice water drains cleanly off your property during rainfall instead of pooling or flooding nearby areas. Allied Water Services tests the system before backfilling to confirm flow and grading are correct. The line is inspected according to local requirements before the project closes.

We use materials designed to withstand soil movement, freeze-thaw cycles, and continuous use during wet seasons. The work may require coordination with municipal systems if your storm line connects to a public outlet. Properties with older clay or corrugated metal pipe often see the most noticeable improvement after replacement.

Homeowners often need clarity on what storm sewer replacement involves and whether it's necessary for their property. These questions address the most common concerns before scheduling the work.

What causes a storm sewer line to fail?

Old materials crack from soil settling, tree roots infiltrate joints, and undersized pipe can't handle increased runoff. Over time, the line loses its ability to move water effectively.

How long does a storm sewer replacement take?
Most replacements are completed in one to three days depending on line length and site access. Weather and permit timing can extend the schedule slightly.

What happens to the excavated area after installation?
Once the new line is tested and backfilled, the trench is compacted and graded to match the existing surface. You can reseed or replant shortly after compaction.

Why not just repair the broken section?
If the rest of the line is old or undersized, repairing one section only delays the next failure. Replacement addresses the full system at once.

What permits are required for this work?
Most municipalities require a permit for storm sewer replacement, especially if it connects to a public system. We handle permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of the service.

If your property floods during storms or your existing storm line is cracked and outdated, replacement restores the drainage reliability your lot was designed to have. Reach out to discuss your system and schedule an evaluation.
