When rain fall is heavy and coming down in record times, many flat areas around town pose a great risk of flooding, that is when you might need Storm Drain Service. Flood mainly occurs when gutters and street catch basins send large quantities of rain water directly into your towns main storm sewer system in the streets and it can't handle the load, so it has nowhere to go but back where it came from.
