What Are Cleanouts?
A cleanout is an access point that allows property owners and maintenance crews to inspect and clear stormwater lines. Positioned strategically throughout your system, they make it possible to remove blockages and keep water flowing freely away from your building.
Why Cleanouts Need Repair
Over time, cleanouts can crack, become buried, or corrode due to constant exposure to moisture and heavy loads. Inaccessible or damaged cleanouts make routine maintenance impossible and increase the risk of flooding, water damage, and expensive emergency repairs.

The Essential Role of Cleanout Repairs in Stormwater Management
Every stormwater system relies on cleanouts for inspection and cleaning. If they are damaged, buried, or inaccessible, you lose the ability to maintain your pipes efficiently. In Philadelphia’s climate, where heavy rains and debris buildup are common, that lack of access can lead to overflows, backups, and violations.
Repairing your cleanouts not only restores accessibility but also helps maintain system efficiency year-round. Our team approaches every repair as part of the larger system, using the opportunity to inspect, clean, and document the condition of your drainage network in one service call.

Common Questions About Cleanout Repairs
How do I know if my cleanout needs repair?
You might notice slow drainage, gurgling sounds from connected drains, or water pooling near the cleanout location. In some cases, the cap may be missing or damaged, allowing debris and pests to enter the system. A professional inspection confirms the extent of the damage and prevents small issues from turning into expensive repairs.
What causes cleanouts to fail in Philadelphia properties?
Most failures stem from age, physical damage from vehicles or landscaping equipment, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles that crack the pipe or cap. Neglected maintenance can also lead to corrosion or root intrusion.
How long does a cleanout repair take?
In straightforward cases, we can complete repairs in a few hours. More complex situations involving buried or obstructed cleanouts may require additional time for excavation and testing.
Will repairing my cleanout fix drainage issues?
While repairing the cleanout often resolves drainage concerns, we also inspect connected piping to ensure there are no deeper blockages or structural failures.
Are cleanout repairs required for stormwater compliance in Philadelphia?
Yes. A functional cleanout is a key access point for maintaining and inspecting stormwater systems. Without it, property owners risk violations and fines from the Philadelphia Water Department.
Can you repair a buried or hidden cleanout?
Absolutely. We use specialized locating equipment to find buried cleanouts, even under pavement or landscaping. Once located, we safely excavate and restore it.
