South Florida is no stranger to intense storms, especially during hurricane season.

Why it Matters

Given the heavy rainfall South Florida experiences, regular storm drain cleaning is not just a recommendation but a necessity. Blocked drains can lead to significant flooding, which can disrupt businesses, damage infrastructure, and create unsafe conditions for residents and tourists. Regular South Florida storm drain cleaning keeps debris like leaves, trash, and sediment from accumulating in your drainage systems.

Catch Basins & Retention Boxes

These structures collect runoff and direct it into the storm drains, preventing large amounts of water from pooling on surfaces like roads and parking lots. However, when these components are clogged with debris, their effectiveness diminishes. Ameri-Clean Pumping’s thorough inspection and cleaning services keep water flowing freely.
