Stormwater inspection & recertification in South Florida

South Florida Storm Drain Solutions performs your stormwater system's required Operation & Maintenance (O&M) inspection and recertification across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade. Our qualified inspector documents every pond, structure, and outfall against your permit, certifies the system on the Florida state form (62-330.311), and — because we also do the cleaning and repairs — closes the whole compliance loop with one vendor. Start with a free Stormwater Compliance Check: a no-cost, aerial-based quote for your inspection (no site visit required).

Our process

  1. 1

    Desktop review

    We pull your ERP permit, the original drainage plan, and current aerial imagery to map the system before we mobilize.

  2. 2

    On-site inspection

    Crew assesses every pond, structure, and outfall, measures sediment, photographs the system, and runs CCTV where needed.

  3. 3

    Corrective work (if scoped)

    If your scope includes cleaning or repair, we vactor and jet on the same mobilization — saving a separate trip charge.

  4. 4

    Report & certification

    You receive a signed report on the state O&M form with photos and a prioritized punch list — typically within 5–7 business days.

  5. 5

    File with the permit

    We deliver documentation in the format your municipality, county, or SFWMD reviewer expects, and re-inspect after corrective work to certify substantial conformance.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you actually do the inspection, or just the cleaning?
Both. We perform and certify the O&M inspection in-house under Florida's June 28, 2025 qualified-inspector rule — and we do the corrective cleaning and repairs. One vendor, one loop.
Is your inspector qualified to certify it?
Yes. Florida's 2025 rule allows a trained qualified inspector to certify the recurring O&M inspection on the state form. For drainage-district recerts or permits that still require a PE seal, we coordinate a licensed engineer.
How often do we need it?
Set by your permit — commonly every 1–3 years for the state ERP O&M inspection (by system type), and around every 5 years for a drainage-district recertification. We confirm yours from the permit.
What does it cost?
Single-pond/site inspections from $450–$650; multi-pond communities $400–$550 per pond with volume discount. The free Compliance Check tells you exactly where you stand before you spend anything.
Will the report be accepted by my municipality, district, or SFWMD?
Yes — reports are issued on the Florida state O&M form (62-330.311) and formatted to match what Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade plan reviewers expect.
What's the Compliance Guarantee?
Complete the corrective work we recommend and we certify your system is functioning in substantial conformance with your permit — Florida's legal standard. If our completed work doesn't bring it into conformance on re-inspection, we make it right at no additional labor charge. (We certify conformance to your permit's design intent — not drainage in every storm — and final agency acceptance rests with the district.)
