Is your Palm Beach County property's stormwater license current?
Most boards don't know. We pull the county record and tell you the license number, status and expiration date.

Doing nothing is the most expensive option on this page.
Broward mails the renewal notice to the address on file. That's usually the original developer or a former management company. The license lapses, nobody knows, and the exposure sits with the board.
What an expired license costs you
- Flooded parking lots, tenant complaints, and slip-and-fall exposure every time it rains hard
- Emergency call-outs priced at emergency rates instead of a planned flat fee
- Two vendors, two invoices, and an engineer who won't certify the other guy's cleaning
- Hurricane season runs through November 30. Every storm tests drains that haven't been cleaned.
What renewing with us costs you
- Renewed five-year license in your hands in 2–4 weeks
- Photo log of every structure, before and after, for the board packet
- No hourly billing, no change orders, no separate engineering invoice
- If the county rejects anything in our scope, we fix it and refile free
You've had two bad options. Here's the third.
Engineering firms certify but don't clean. Plumbers clean but can't certify. We were built to do the whole job in one visit.

For properties across Palm Beach County, our catch basin cleaning removes sediment from individual structures. When connecting pipes are blocked, storm drain cleaning combines vacuum extraction with jetting to address the drainage network. For new structures, storm pipe and point repairs, see our storm drain installation and repair service.
Local stormwater context across Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County is the most drainage-district-heavy county in our service area. Properties east of Florida's Turnpike generally discharge through municipal MS4s (the City of West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and Jupiter all run their own NPDES Phase II programs) feeding into the Intracoastal, Lake Worth Lagoon, and Loxahatchee River basins.
West of the Turnpike, large planned communities and most golf HOAs sit inside one of several independent special districts: the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) for much of central and south county, the Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District for Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter, the Indian Trail Improvement District (ITID) for The Acreage and Loxahatchee, and the Acme Improvement District inside the Village of Wellington. Each district controls right-of-way access and downstream conveyance, and each carries its own recertification expectations on top of the SFWMD ERP your engineer holds.
Florida's June 28, 2025 update to Chapter 62-330 changed who can certify the recurring O&M inspection: a qualified inspector can now sign the state form, while the periodic drainage-district recertification (commonly every 5 years) still requires a PE seal. We confirm what your specific permit and district actually require before quoting. Our Florida-licensed professional engineer is on staff, so both the inspector certification and the sealed engineering come from the same team.
Practically, the county splits into three operating environments. The east coast (Palm Beach, Singer Island, the A1A corridor) is tidally influenced and depends on tide flaps and outfall valves seating correctly through king-tide season. Downtown and inner-ring commercial (West Palm Beach, downtown Delray, Atlantic Avenue, Mizner Park) has older infrastructure and tight access windows around events and valet operations. The western communities (Wellington, Boca west of the Turnpike, the gated golf inventory north of Glades) are LWDD/Acme-coordinated and dominated by exfiltration trenches and dry-retention systems that silt up faster than the original design assumed.
Across all three, the consistent failure pattern we see is undocumented infrastructure: catch basins that haven't been opened in years, exfiltration runs nobody has CCTV'd, and tide flaps nobody has verified. Recert season is the worst time to find that out. The cheap insurance is a documented baseline cleaning and CCTV pass before your engineer is standing on site with a deadline.

Wellington, the Acme Improvement District, and equestrian loading
Most of Wellington's surface-water and drainage infrastructure is operated by the Acme Improvement District, the Village's dependent district. Swales, control structures, and the secondary canal network are Acme's; on-site catch basins, ponds, and exfiltration trenches inside HOA and commercial property lines remain the owner's responsibility under their SFWMD ERP.
Wellington's equestrian core generates above-average organic loading (manure, shavings, wash-rack sediment) which fouls catch basins, baffle boxes, and downstream control structures far faster than a typical residential district. Catch basins serving barns, wash racks, and arena perimeters need vacuum extraction rather than jetting alone to lift organic sludge cleanly; we bag and dispose of solids through licensed facilities and provide the manifest. Most barns and show grounds need quarterly cleaning at minimum, with extra service after large shows.
The work here is dominated by gated single-family HOAs (Palm Beach Polo, Olympia, Versailles, Binks Forest), equestrian show grounds and private barns, the Wellington Green / 441 commercial corridor, and Village-adjacent retail and medical-office plazas. We push heavy vacuum work into the off-season (May. October) and keep show-season work to short, low-impact windows so we're not adding truck traffic on South Shore Boulevard during a WEF show day.
