Preparing Stormwater Systems for Hurricane Season
Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30, and while the Mid-Atlantic is not impacted by hurricanes as frequently as coastal southern states, Maryland, Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Delaware regularly experience the effects of tropical storms and hurricane remnants. Heavy rainfall, saturated ground, high winds, and localized flooding can quickly overwhelm stormwater…
What Causes Stormwater Systems to Overflow?
Stormwater management systems are designed to capture, convey, store, and treat runoff during rainfall events. When functioning properly, these systems help prevent flooding, reduce erosion, protect water quality, and support regulatory compliance. However, even well-designed stormwater facilities can experience overflow conditions. When water exceeds a system’s capacity or encounters an obstruction, the result can be…
Understanding Stormwater Maintenance Service Agreements
Stormwater systems require ongoing maintenance to function properly, meet regulatory requirements, and protect downstream waterways. However, many commercial property owners and managers still rely on reactive maintenance – addressing issues only after a failed inspection, flooding event, or resident complaint. A stormwater maintenance service agreement (MSA) provides a more proactive approach. By establishing a structured…
Stormwater Pond Dredging: When Sediment Removal Becomes Necessary
Stormwater ponds are designed to collect and manage runoff while capturing sediment, debris, and pollutants before they reach downstream waterways. Over time, however, the very process that makes these systems effective can also reduce their performance. As sediment accumulates within a stormwater pond, storage capacity decreases, water quality can decline, and the system may no…
Stormwater Planning and Budgeting for Property Managers
Why Stormwater Maintenance Requires Long-Term Planning For commercial property owners and managers, stormwater maintenance is often viewed as a recurring operational expense. Routine inspections, sediment removal, vegetation management, and repairs are necessary to keep systems functioning properly and maintain compliance with local stormwater regulations. However, many stormwater systems also require periodic major maintenance projects that…
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!
Catch basins are easy to overlook. Located beneath grates and curb inlets throughout parking lots, roadways, commercial properties, and communities, these structures collect stormwater runoff...
