Parking lot drain cleaning — retail, office & industrial
Standing water in a parking lot is a flooding, slip, and liability problem — and it almost always traces back to a silted catch basin, a clogged trench drain, or a full oil-water separator. We clean every drainage structure in the lot with vacuum trucks and hydro-jetting, remove hydrocarbons and sediment, and give property managers the before/after documentation their owner and insurer want to see.

Our process
- 1
Map the lot
Confirm structure count, ADA drain locations, and any oil-water separators or interceptors.
- 2
Clean each structure
Vacuum sediment, trash, and standing water. Wash-down the sump and walls.
- 3
Clear the pipes
Jet the outfall pipe runs so flow reaches the main line, not just the next basin.
- 4
Report
Photo report per structure, disposal manifest, and any repair recommendations.
