Boca Raton HOA — 47-basin recertification delivered in 3 weeks

A 340-unit gated community in west Boca faced a 5-year drainage recertification with no maintenance records on file. We inspected, cleaned, CCTV-verified, and delivered a PE-signed package in under a month.

The challenge

The community's original engineer had retired and no O&M records existed for the last three cycles. The property manager received a district notice giving 60 days to produce a current recertification or face fines.

Aerial review showed 47 catch basins across 22 acres, with visible standing water in two low points after the previous week's rain — a classic sign of downstream sediment buildup.

Scope of work

Full-system O&M inspection, corrective cleanout, CCTV verification, and PE-sealed 5-year recertification package.

  • Desktop pull of the original ERP permit and drainage plan
  • On-site inventory and photo documentation of all 47 basins
  • Vactor cleanout of 18 heavy-load basins (sediment >30% of sump depth)
  • Hydro-jetting of 1,850 LF of interconnecting pipe
  • CCTV verification of all cleaned pipe runs
  • PE-sealed report on state form 62-330.311, filed with the district

District compliance status
The community is now on a 2-visit-per-year PM contract at a locked per-basin rate, giving the board a predictable line item and preventing another catch-up cycle. Post-recert, the property has cleared two full hurricane seasons without a flooding call.
