Storm drains, catch basins, trench drains. Cleared.

Storm drain work uses the hydro jetter at $300/hr, billed hourly. Typical residential trench-drain and downspout cleanouts: $600–$1,500 (about 2–5 hours). Commercial parking-lot catch basins: $600–$1,500 per basin, depending on access and condition. Upfront estimate before we start. Before + after camera scope included on every job.

Before spring runoff (March–April) and after fall leaf drop (October–November) are the two highest-value windows for the Omaha metro. If your patio floods in heavy rain, your window well overflows, or your parking lot ponds where it didn't used to, that's the time. Property managers typically schedule semi-annual cleanouts.

Yes, and it's the right tool. 3,500 PSI water plus a root- or chain-style nozzle handles mud, leaves, debris, and root intrusion at the joints. We come at the outlet first, then up the basin if access allows. Before + after camera scope is included with every jet job.

Yes. That's a common Omaha call (recent Linden Estates job in the metro area). We can usually clear from the trench-drain outlet without disturbing the stones. If the outlet itself has failed and needs to be reset in mortar, we'll quote that work with the cleanout.

Cleanable with the jetter same as a main line. Common failure modes: roots at the connection to the catch basin, mud/silt buildup over years, or the line failing at the foundation joint. We scope first when the condition is unknown.

If the water sits because a trench drain, catch basin, or downspout outlet is clogged, yes, that's a hydro-jet cleanout job. If the water sits because there's no drainage installed, or the grade is wrong, that's a landscape/hardscape job we don't do (we'll tell you straight before we come out). The camera scope at the start tells us which situation you have.

Water collects in the window well after a storm and doesn't drain down within an hour. Mud accumulates at the drain grate. In worst cases, water pushes against the basement window. The window well has an underground drain tile that routes to a storm sewer or dry well; those drain tiles clog with soil, roots, and leaf debris over 10–20 years. Jetter clears it.

Yes. Commercial parking lot catch basin cleaning is a core line of our work across the Omaha metro. Property managers, HOAs, retail, office, and multifamily all book us on semi-annual or annual schedules. $300/hr hydro jet rate, Net-15 invoicing with a COI on file. No maintenance-contract upcharge.

Almost never. 95% of storm drain cleanouts happen through the existing drain opening or the exterior cleanout. No digging. The exception is when the drain outlet or dry well has failed and needs to be exposed; in that case we tell you first and give you an upfront estimate before any excavation.

Residential trench drain or downspout: 1.5–3 hours. Commercial catch basin: 1–2 hours per basin typical. Larger parking lots or multi-basin jobs run longer. Billed hourly at $300/hr with a time range in the upfront estimate.

Yes. If you're actively flooding and need the drain opened before the next storm cell hits, call us. Same $300/hr jet rate; a disclosed service-call premium applies after hours. For scheduled seasonal cleanouts (pre-spring runoff, post-leaf-drop), book 1–2 weeks ahead.

Omaha, Bellevue, La Vista, Papillion, Elkhorn, and Gretna, the full Omaha metro and Sarpy County. Same posted $300/hr rate across every city, no travel surcharge inside the service area.
