If you’ve received a city or county letter about required underground detention system maintenance, standing water, sediment buildup, or overgrown storm water basins, Sewer Cleaning Company is here to help. We specialize in fast, compliant, and cost-effective sewer and storm water cleaning services that meet municipal inspection requirements. With this official documentation in hand, you can avoid fines and keep your property in top condition. 

What Are Professional Sewer & Storm Water Maintenance Compliance Letters?

These letters serve as official documentation to demonstrate adherence to local, state, and federal regulations concerning the maintenance and operation of sewer and storm water systems. For companies in Ohio, these letters serve a very important purpose and help to achieve the following goals:

• Verifying Compliance: Compliance letters confirm that sewer and storm water infrastructure is being maintained in accordance with regulations to prevent pollution and flooding.
• Preventing Environmental Damage: Proper maintenance helps protect waterways from contamination and safeguards public health.
• Avoiding Legal and Financial Penalties: Non-compliance can lead to fines, lawsuits, and other penalties from regulatory agencies.
• Protecting Infrastructure and Property: Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs and extends the lifespan of sewer and storm water systems.  

In Ohio, Sewer & storm water Maintenance Compliance Letters are generally issued by local entities, which can include individual cities and municipalities, certain county agencies and even the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA). The Ohio EPA’s Division of Surface Water can issue permits and may also issue compliance letters related to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements for storm water discharges from construction or industrial activities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer & Storm Water Maintenance Compliance Letters

1) I received a city letter about my storm water or detention system. What should I do first?
Call a qualified sewer and storm water contractor immediately. Compliance letters include deadlines (often 30 days). Fast assessment and scheduled service can help you to avoid fines and pass re-inspection.

2) Can you help me pass my re-inspection after the work is done?
Yes. We provide before and after photos, maintenance reports, and receipts that inspectors accept as proof of compliance.

3) What is an underground detention system?
A structure that temporarily stores storm water and releases it slowly to prevent flooding. It can accumulate sediment and debris and require periodic maintenance.

4) Do you follow OSHA confined space safety rules?
Yes. Work in underground structures follows OSHA confined-space entry procedures for worker safety and regulatory compliance.

5) Can you remove both standing water and sediment?
Yes. We use pump-out, hydro-vac, and jetting methods to remove water, silt, and debris, after which we then clear inlets and outlets.

6) My detention basin is overgrown. Can you handle vegetation removal?
Yes. We cut and remove overgrowth, restore drainage, and reduce erosion risk to improve inspection results.

7) How fast can you respond to urgent compliance cases?
Same-day or next-day service is often available. We prioritize short-deadline notices.

8) Do you service public and private properties?
Yes. We serve commercial properties, HOAs, industrial facilities, municipalities, and transit agencies.

9) What happens if I ignore the city’s letter?
You may face daily fines, legal action, or city-performed work billed at higher rates. Prompt maintenance is far cheaper.

10) How much does detention system cleaning cost?
Costs range. Factors that affect cost can include system size and complexity, level of buildup, system accessibility, disposal fees, emergency vs. routine service and local labor rates. For the most accurate, free estimate, contact Sewer Cleaning Company.
