What Happens to Stormwater Infrastructure in a Drought?
It’s easy to assume that less rainfall means fewer stormwater concerns. But in reality, drought conditions can quietly degrade stormwater system performance, setting the stage for bigger failures when rain eventually returns. Across Maryland, Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and Delaware, extended dry periods are becoming more common. These shifts don’t just affect water supply –…
Stormwater Pipe Blockages: Causes Beyond Sediment
Stormwater pipe blockages are often blamed on sediment – and for good reason. Silt and debris buildup is a common issue. But focusing only on sediment can lead property managers and facility owners to overlook other critical causes that restrict flow, damage infrastructure, and create recurring drainage problems. If your system isn’t performing as expected…
Stormwater Manholes: Inspection and Maintenance Basics
Stormwater systems don’t typically fail all at once – they degrade gradually, often out of sight. One of the most overlooked but critical components in that process is the stormwater manhole. Whether located in a parking lot, along a roadway, or within a larger drainage network, manholes provide essential access to underground infrastructure. When they’re…
How to Read a Stormwater Inspection Report
Stormwater inspection reports are a critical part of maintaining compliance and protecting your property – but for many property managers and owners, they can feel overly technical or difficult to interpret. Understanding how to read a stormwater inspection report isn’t just about checking a box. It’s about knowing what issues matter, what can wait, and…
Why Stormwater Systems Stop Draining Properly
Stormwater systems are designed to move water efficiently away from paved surfaces, structures, and landscaped areas. When they stop draining properly, the issue is rarely sudden. More often, it’s the result of gradual buildup, hidden damage, or subtle changes in how water moves across a site. For property stakeholders responsible for maintaining safe, functional properties,…
Real Results
iStormwater LLC was an excellent choice. They made the process of the Stormwater pond repairs seamless. They took charge of the project and got the project approved and passing the inspection. We highly recommend them and would use them again.
Incredible stormwater management service. The owner John consulted on a property I manage and ended up saving us thousands of dollars in environmental fees from the government. Now, our property is compliant with the EPA and we have a great partner to keep us maintained on stormwater regulations over time.
So helpful with all of my water issues.
Great communication and leadership and a family friendly atmosphere. Thank you John!
