Commercial Storm Drain Maintenance in Los Alamos, NM

For businesses in Los Alamos, NM, a clogged storm drain can mean lost operating time and potential liability from flooding.

Root Removal from Storm Drains in Los Alamos

Tree roots are a common cause of severe storm drain blockages in Los Alamos, especially in older neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots seek out moisture and can work into drain pipes through tiny cracks or loose joints, growing and eventually completely blocking water flow. GVK Plumbing uses dedicated root-cutting attachments on our drain snakes and hydro jetting equipment to cut through and remove root intrusions. After removal, we can suggest further steps to prevent future root problems.

Storm Drain Video Inspection in Los Alamos

Before and after cleaning, a video inspection is crucial for storm drains in Los Alamos. Our cameras can travel through the drain lines, letting us accurately identify the type and location of blockages, assess pipe integrity, and confirm the results of our cleaning. This technology helps prevent unnecessary digging and gives you a precise solution, especially useful for diagnosing issues hidden underground. Most homes sit on concrete slabs, so leaks under the floor often call for slab leak detection before a repair begins.

Yard and Area Drain Cleaning in Los Alamos

Yard drains and area inlets collect runoff from lawns, rock landscaping and patios. Over time the grates fill with leaves and the pipes fill with silt and small gravel. We pull the grates, vacuum the inlet box and jet the pipe toward its outlet. This restores the line so it can carry a full storm. We also check that grates are secure and level.

Dry Well Cleaning and Inspection in Los Alamos, NM

Dry wells let storm water soak into the ground instead of flowing to a street. They are found on commercial sites, HOA common areas and some residential lots. Silt slowly seals the settling chamber and the drainage rock, slowing how fast water drains. We vacuum the chamber, inspect the inlet and outlet, and check drain-down time. If the dry well no longer drains properly, we explain options for rehabilitation or replacement.

Emergency Storm Drain Clearing in Los Alamos

If water is pooling against your home during a storm, a clogged drain is often the cause. We respond to urgent calls to clear the blockage and get water flowing. In the moment, we focus on the inlet and pipe that are causing the flooding. Once the storm passes, we can clean the rest of the system. We also note any grading or drainage issues that made the problem more severe.
