If your basin holds water longer than normal, has visible silt deposits, or overflows during moderate storms, it may be time to schedule service.
Our Detention Pond Cleaning Process
Clean Basins uses a structured approach for detention pond cleaning in Watertown, MA. The goal is to restore capacity while keeping the site clean and the work controlled.
- Site review and access planning to identify entry points, staging areas, and flow paths.
- Sediment assessment to determine where buildup is concentrated and how it affects capacity.
- Debris removal for trash, branches, and organic material that blocks flow.
- Sediment removal focusing on low points, forebays, and inlet paths.
- Inlet and outlet cleaning to ensure water enters and exits freely.
- Final verification to confirm drainage paths are open and the basin has restored volume.
- Haul and disposal of removed material, with documentation when requested.
For facilities with multiple basins, we can build a route plan across the area in Watertown, MA. We can also prioritize basins that flood first or receive the most runoff.

Equipment Designed for Sediment and Stormwater Debris
Detention pond sediment can be heavy and waterlogged. It can also be difficult to remove without spreading material across the site. Clean Basins uses vactor/vacuum truck cleaning and hydrovac-assisted cleaning when conditions call for controlled removal of slurry, sediment, and debris.
This approach is useful for cleaning around structures and low areas where material concentrates. Vactor/vacuum truck cleaning helps collect loosened sediment and standing water efficiently. Hydrovac-assisted cleaning can support precise removal around inlets, outlet structures, and discharge components.
Using the right equipment helps keep work areas cleaner and reduces disturbance to the surrounding property. For basins in Watertown, MA, it also helps produce more consistent results from one service visit to the next.
Disposal, Compliance, and Documentation
Sediment removed from detention ponds can include soil, organic material, and storm debris. We handle collected material responsibly and dispose of it appropriately. We can provide service records and disposal documentation when requested. Many property managers in Watertown, MA use these records for maintenance tracking and internal compliance.
