Channel and Trench Drain Cleaning in Denver
Channel drains across driveways and garage entries catch water before it reaches the house. Their narrow channels fill quickly with sand, leaves and debris. We remove the grates, clean the channel and jet the outlet pipe. Cracked or loose grates can be replaced while we are there. A clean trench drain keeps water out of your garage during a downpour.

Storm Drain Camera Inspection in Denver
Before and after cleaning, or to diagnose the cause of persistent blockages, GFR Plumbing offers storm drain camera inspection in Denver. Using waterproof cameras, we can visually inspect the interior of your storm drain lines to identify the exact nature and location of blockages, assess pipe condition, and check for structural damage like cracks or collapses. This non-invasive diagnostic tool gives accurate problem identification and lets us provide the most effective and targeted cleaning or repair solutions.
Dry Well Cleaning and Inspection in Denver, CO
Dry wells let storm water soak into the ground instead of flowing to a street. They are found on commercial sites, HOA common areas and some residential lots. Silt slowly seals the settling chamber and the drainage rock, slowing how fast water drains. We vacuum the chamber, inspect the inlet and outlet, and check drain-down time. If the dry well no longer drains properly, we explain options for rehabilitation or replacement.
Residential Storm Drain Cleaning in Denver
Homes in Denver are especially vulnerable to storm drain issues due to changing weather and local landscaping. We clear leaves, twigs, silt, and other natural debris that can accumulate in residential storm drains, preventing rainwater from backing up into yards or foundations. Our service protects your home's perimeter and keeps water moving away from sensitive areas, especially during heavy rain. Sudden summer thunderstorms bring flash flooding and hail, and heavy runoff can overwhelm storm drains and sewer lines.
Emergency Storm Drain Unclogging in Denver
When a severe storm hits Denver and your drains are overflowing, you need immediate help. GFR Plumbing provides emergency storm drain unclogging to quickly address critical blockages. We put first urgent calls to minimize water damage to your property, sending rapid response teams with high-powered equipment to restore proper drainage as fast as possible, even during severe weather.
Downspout and Roof Drain Lines in Denver, CO
Many homes connect downspouts to buried pipe that carries water away from the foundation. These lines clog with roof granules, leaves and nests, then back up and dump water at the wall. We jet them clear and test with a hose to confirm flow at the outlet. For flat roofs with scuppers, we check that the discharge path is open too. Keeping water away from the slab helps protect against soil movement and cracking.
Yard and Area Drain Cleaning in Denver
Yard drains and area inlets collect runoff from lawns, rock landscaping and patios. Over time the grates fill with leaves and the pipes fill with silt and small gravel. We pull the grates, vacuum the inlet box and jet the pipe toward its outlet. This restores the line so it can handle a full storm. We also check that grates are secure and seated.

For businesses in Denver, CO, a clogged storm drain can mean lost operating time and possible liability from flooding.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Drain Cleaning in Denver
The cost of storm drain cleaning in Denver typically ranges from $200 to $600, depending on the severity and type of blockage, the length of the drain, and the equipment required, such as hydro jetting or snaking. More complex issues like extensive root intrusion or collapsed pipes may cost more. We provide a written, upfront estimate before starting any work.
Most homes take 1 to 3 hours. Large commercial sites or dry wells may take a half day or longer.
While you can remove surface debris from drain grates, deeply clogged storm drains need professional tools like hydro jetters and camera equipment for effective cleaning. DIY attempts can sometimes push debris further down or damage the pipes, leading to more costly repairs. It is safer and more reliable to hire a professional.
Yes. Sediment builds up in the settling chamber and slows drainage. Periodic cleaning and inspection help them work as designed.
In Denver, common causes of storm drain clogs include built-up leaves, dirt, and organic debris from trees, silt and sediment from soil erosion, trash, and sadly, sometimes even illegally dumped waste. Tree root intrusion into the pipes is also a major factor, especially in older systems.
We use water jetters, vacuum equipment and push cameras built for drain work. These tools remove debris without damaging thin-wall storm pipe.
Common signs of a clogged storm drain include standing water in your yard or driveway after rain, water overflowing from catch basins, odd pooling near downspouts, or slow drainage in outdoor areas. You might also notice debris piling up around drain grates, a sign the system is failing to clear water.
Our technicians are trained to service all types and brands of storm drain systems typically found in residential and commercial properties. This includes standard PVC, corrugated HDPE, concrete, and cast iron drainpipes, as well as many types of catch basins and grates from manufacturers like NDS, ADS, and Zurn.
