Service · Calgary

Calgary's spring melt and summer storms put real pressure on storm drainage. We clean and inspect catch basins, storm lines and weeping tile connections so water is carried away from your property instead of pooling around it.

  • Reduced flooding and pooling risk
  • Better protection for foundations and pavement
  • Seasonal maintenance options

Service: Storm Drainage

Overview

Storm drainage carries rain and snowmelt away from your building through catch basins, area drains, downspout connections and storm lines. When those fill with sediment and debris, water pools — on parking lots, against foundations and in low spots.

We clean catch basins, jet storm lines and inspect them on camera so stormwater keeps moving, especially through Calgary's spring melt and summer storm season.

Storm Drainage

No clear, no clearing charge

On eligible standard blockages.

Spot Problems Early

Problems build up gradually. Watch for these warning signs before a small issue becomes a backup.

Pooling after rain

Water sitting on lots, driveways or yards.

Slow catch basins

Grates that take a long time to drain.

Debris-filled grates

Leaves, gravel and litter covering inlets.

Ice build-up

Standing water that freezes into hazards in winter.

Water near foundations

Moisture against walls or seeping into basements.

Sinkholes or settling

Can signal a broken storm line below.

Root Causes

Understanding the cause is how we stop a problem from coming back — not just clear it for today.

01

Sediment & gravel

Winter sanding washes straight into catch basins.

02

Leaves & organic debris

Fall leaves pack inlets and lines.

03

Root intrusion

Storm lines are just as vulnerable to roots as sewers.

04

Damaged pipe

Frost heave and heavy traffic crack older storm lines.

What We Offer

Catch basin cleaning

Sediment and debris removed from sumps and inlets.

Storm line jetting

Condition documented with recorded footage.

Area & trench drain cleaning

Our basement floor drain backed up on a Sunday. PlusFlow called back quickly, cleared the line and showed us on camera what caused it. Clear explanation, no pressure, and they left everything clean.

We booked a sewer scope before buying an older home in Bowness. The technician walked us through the footage and gave us a written summary. It helped us negotiate with confidence.

Our restaurant kitchen lines kept clogging with grease. They hydro-jetted the lines after hours so we didn't lose a service, and set us up on a regular schedule. No problems since.

Big old poplar in the front yard and slow drains every fall. They cut the roots, ran a camera after, and recommended a maintenance interval. Friendly and on time.

We manage a condo complex in the NE and had pooling at two catch basins. PlusFlow cleaned and inspected them, sent photos and a short report for our board. Very professional.

Gurgling toilet and a slow tub. The tech explained the difference between snaking and jetting and recommended the simpler fix. Honest advice — I'll call them again.

Before our basement development we had the line inspected. They found an offset joint we never would have known about. Great communication from booking to the final report.

Water came up through the basement floor drain every time the washer ran. They cleared the main line, ran the camera to the city connection and showed us a root spot to keep an eye on. Straightforward and tidy.

Toilet overflowing on a weekday evening with family coming over. I called, they told me what to shut off and were at the door that evening. Line cleared and the price matched what I was told on the phone.

We needed the sewer line marked before building a garage. They traced it with the camera and locator and painted the route and depth on the lawn. Our contractor knew exactly where not to dig.

Kitchen sink kept clogging no matter how often it was snaked. Jetting cleared years of grease out of the line and it has drained perfectly since. They explained everything without the upsell.
