Emergency Storm Drain Clearing in Reno
If water is pooling against your home during a storm, a clogged drain is often the cause. We respond to urgent calls to clear the blockage and get water flowing. In the moment, we focus on the inlet and pipe that are causing the flooding. Once the storm passes, we can clean the rest of the system. We also note any grading or drainage issues that made the problem worse.

Preventative Storm Drain Maintenance Plans in Reno, NV
For properties in Reno, NV prone to frequent storm drain issues, FMR Plumbing offers tailored preventative maintenance plans. These plans involve scheduled inspections and cleanings, matched to your property's needs and local conditions. Regular preventative maintenance helps avoid unexpected emergency blockages, extends the lifespan of your storm drainage system, and saves you money on costly repairs in the long run. Keep your drains clear year-round with our proactive approach.
Yard and Area Drain Cleaning in Reno
Yard drains and area inlets collect runoff from lawns, rock landscaping and patios. Over time the grates fill with leaves and the pipes fill with silt and small gravel. We pull the grates, vacuum the inlet box and jet the pipe toward its outlet. This restores the line so it can handle a full storm. We also check that grates are secure and seated.
Catch Basin Cleaning Services in Reno
Catch basins are key parts of many storm drainage systems in Reno, designed to trap debris before it enters the main pipes. Over time, these basins can fill with leaves, trash, and sediment, reducing their effectiveness. Our service includes fully cleaning out catch basins, removing built-up material so they work correctly and prevent blockages further down the storm drain line, especially important in areas with mature trees.
Storm Drain Cleaning Cost Versus Water Damage in Reno, NV
A routine storm drain cleaning costs a small fraction of what it takes to dry out a flooded garage or repair a damaged slab. Many homeowners only call after water has already gotten in. Cleaning once a year, ideally before the rainy season, prevents most problems. If a pipe is crushed or disconnected, we can locate it with a camera and repair just that section. We give you clear pricing for both cleaning and repairs.
Residential Storm Drain Cleaning in Reno
Homes in Reno are particularly vulnerable to storm drain issues due to changing weather and local landscaping. We clear leaves, twigs, silt, and other natural debris that can accumulate in residential storm drains, preventing rainwater from backing up into yards or foundations. Our service protects your home's perimeter and keeps water moving away from sensitive areas, especially during heavy rain. Sudden summer storms can cause fast-moving floodwater that overwhelms drainage and washes debris into storm drains.
Storm Drain Camera Inspection in Reno
Before and after cleaning, or to diagnose the cause of persistent blockages, FMR Plumbing offers storm drain camera inspection in Reno. Using waterproof cameras, we can visually inspect the interior of your storm drain lines to identify the exact nature and location of blockages, assess pipe condition, and check for structural damage like cracks or collapses. This non-invasive diagnostic tool gives accurate problem identification and lets us provide the most effective and targeted cleaning or repair solutions.

Preventative Storm Drain Cleaning in Reno, NV

Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Drain Cleaning in Reno
Residential storm drain cleaning in Reno usually runs $200 to $500 depending on the number of inlets and pipe length. Dry well cleaning and commercial systems typically cost more and are quoted after a site visit.
Yes, FMR Plumbing stands behind the quality of our storm drain cleaning. We offer a satisfaction guarantee and specific warranties on our work, so your drains stay clear and working after our service. Please ask our technicians for details about the warranty on your particular service.
Usually, permits are not required for routine storm drain cleaning and maintenance. However, if the service involves excavation for major repairs or replacement of storm drain lines, then local Reno building and plumbing permits may be necessary. FMR Plumbing handles all necessary permitting for larger projects.
We recommend having your storm drains inspected and possibly cleaned once a year, especially if you have mature trees nearby. Sudden summer storms can cause fast-moving floodwater that overwhelms drainage and washes debris into storm drains. Properties prone to debris buildup or with a history of clogs may need twice-yearly cleaning to prevent major issues.
Hydro jetting is a powerful drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water streams to wash out stubborn blockages and thoroughly clean the interior of drain pipes. For storm drains, it is very effective at removing compacted soil, heavy silt, grease, and roots, restoring the drain to its full flow capacity much better than snaking.
Our technicians are trained to service all types and brands of storm drain systems commonly found in residential and commercial properties. This includes standard PVC, corrugated HDPE, concrete, and cast iron drainpipes, as well as many types of catch basins and grates from manufacturers like NDS, ADS, and Zurn.
To prevent storm drain clogs, regularly clear leaves and debris from grates and catch basins, avoid planting trees directly over drain lines, and keep landscaping in good shape to prevent soil erosion. Consider installing grates with smaller openings in high-debris areas and schedule annual professional cleanings.
Just before your area's rainy or storm season starts is ideal. A second check after the season ends is smart for properties with lots of trees or gravel.
