How often should commercial storm drains be cleaned in South Florida?
Most commercial and HOA properties should clean catch basins once or twice a year and before hurricane season; high-traffic or tree-heavy sites need more. Verify against your permit's O&M conditions.
How much does storm drain cleaning cost?
Cleaning has a $1,500 minimum up to 5 structures. Larger jobs are $130 to $275 per structure, subject to the minimum; heavy or treatment structures add $150 each. Hydro-jetting is $1,750 half day or $3,200 full day. CCTV is $1,750 diagnostic up to 300 ft, then $15 per additional foot. Lift station service is $750 to $3,500 per visit. 5-year recertification starts at $3,500 including cleaning up to 10 structures, PE certification, drainage sketch and county filing. Standalone mobilization is $250, waived on maintenance plans. Emergency/same-day adds 35%. County fees and repairs are separate.
How often is a drainage recertification required?
It depends on your system type and permit. It is not a flat 5 years. Florida's ERP rules set it by type: exfiltration trenches every 2 years, wet ponds and dry retention every 3, underground systems yearly. Five years is the maximum allowed and is common for drainage-district recerts. We confirm the exact interval from your permit.
Who can certify the recertification inspection?
As of June 28, 2025, the recurring O&M inspection can be certified by a qualified inspector. That can be a licensed engineer, someone under an engineer's supervision, or a trained certified inspector. It is then filed on the state O&M inspection form. The system must be clean and functional to pass.
Who is responsible for maintaining an HOA's storm drains?
The operation-and-maintenance entity named on the permit. This is usually the HOA, condo association, or property owner.
