Our Storm Drain Cleaning Process
Clean Basins uses a practical, step-by-step approach for storm drain cleaning in Hampton, NH. The goal is to restore flow and remove the material that reduces system capacity.
- Locate access points and identify inlets, structures, and flow paths on the site.
- Remove surface debris from grates and openings to improve immediate intake.
- Inspect structures for sediment depth, debris volume, and obvious restrictions.
- Vacuum remove material from inlets and structures using professional equipment.
- Flush or clean connecting lines when needed to move sediment to collection points.
- Verify flow and document any areas that show signs of damage or obstruction.
- Haul and dispose of collected material properly and provide service records.
For larger sites, we can clean the system in zones. We typically start with the areas that flood first and the inlets that collect the most debris.

Signs You May Need Storm Drain Cleaning
Storm systems rarely fail without warning. If you notice any of these issues on your property in Hampton, NH, there is a good chance the system needs attention:
- Water pools in parking lots long after a storm ends
- The same low areas flood repeatedly during moderate rainfall
- Inlets overflow because water cannot enter fast enough
- Debris collects heavily at grates and curb openings
- You see mud or silt streaks near storm drain openings
- There are odors near storm structures after standing water
- Drainage seems worse after nearby landscaping or construction
- You see sediment buildup inside visible structures or manholes
Cleaning is often the first and most cost-effective step. It restores capacity and helps you determine whether there is a deeper pipe issue that needs repair.

Equipment Designed for Storm System Debris
Storm drain cleaning in Hampton, NH often involves wet material, compacted sediment, and high volumes of debris. Some systems also collect fine silt that settles in low spots and builds up over time. Clean Basins uses professional equipment designed for stormwater maintenance so material can be removed efficiently and in a controlled way.
We rely on vactor/vacuum truck cleaning and hydrovac-assisted cleaning to remove solids and slurry from storm structures and collection points. This approach helps clear sediment and debris without pushing material deeper into the system. It also keeps the work area cleaner around grates, curbs, and access locations.
This equipment and process allow us to service larger systems in Hampton, NH more efficiently and produce consistent results from one maintenance cycle to the next.
Disposal, Compliance, and Documentation
Removed storm debris can include sediment, organic material, and roadway litter. We handle the material responsibly and dispose of it appropriately. We can also provide service documentation upon request. Many property managers in Hampton, NH prefer records that show when systems were cleaned and which areas were serviced.
This documentation also helps when you need proof of preventative maintenance or when you are preparing for seasonal storms.
