How the work usually goes
Debris settles into the basin and the pipe beyond it. A jetting hose flushes the pipe while a vacuum unit can lift the loose material out of the basin. In Minnesota, fall leaves and spring melt are the usual pressure points, so many property managers book cleaning before those seasons.
Availability in Minnetonka
Storm drains are separate from the sanitary sewer, so if sewage is the issue go to sewer mainline clearing instead. Commercial properties near Ridgedale often combine this with kitchen work from grease line jetting. To talk it through, see how a call works at Minnetonka hydro jetting.
Price depends on the job. We quote after hearing the details, so you get a real number instead of a guess. Call a professional right away if water is backing up, if sewage is involved or if the same clog keeps returning.
Questions about storm drain & catch basin cleaning
Who is responsible for a storm drain?
Drains on private property are usually the owner's responsibility. Street inlets belong to the city, so contact the city if the problem is in the public right of way.
Is a storm drain the same as a sanitary sewer?
No. Storm drains carry rain and melt, and sanitary sewers carry wastewater. They are cleaned and regulated differently.
