Whether it’s April showers, severe thunderstorms, or melting ice and snow, your stormwater solutions can be overwhelmed by unexpected water surges. Excess stormwater will contaminate lawns, streets, and gutters. More than an environmental consideration, improperly managed stormwater can result in hefty fines from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), too. Stormwater services will keep your drainage systems maintained, inspected, and EPA compliant.
What is Stormwater Management and Why Does it Matter?
In a perfect world, stormwater is absorbed into the soil, naturally filtered, and reintroduced to aquifers, streams, and rivers. If there is a significant amount of moisture in the soil, such as following heavy rains, snow, or ice, stormwater overburdens this natural process and will carry eroded soil, chemicals, debris, and other contaminants directly to our waterways.
Most businesses rely on pavement and asphalt on their properties, further limiting the ground’s ability to soak up excess water and funneling it instead into storm drains and sewers. This causes flooding and damage to your city’s water management infrastructure.
Residential property owners may not think about stormwater runoff until they find their septic systems backed up, basements flooded, and landscapes eroded and destroyed. Most property owners don’t realize that their 1000 sq ft roof can displace over 600 gallons of water with only one inch of rain; without stormwater management, that water will flood lawns and cause significant ponding, sewage overflow, and foundational damage.
Proper stormwater management involves flooding control, erosion reduction, and improving water quality by reducing contaminants. Stormwater services will include Best Management Practices, or BMPs, that focus on vegetative and structural solutions to properly manage, reduce, and treat water pollution.
How Can ACE Environmental Stormwater Services Help?
ACE Environmental has been providing stormwater services since 2005, including:
Inspections
ACE Environmental stormwater inspectors have received formal training in stormwater facility inspection, program administration, planning, and erosion and sediment control.
Our stormwater services include annual and post-construction inspections for private property owners and HOAs, industrial properties, and privately owned facilities of all sizes.
Underground Maintenance
The effectiveness of underground stormwater facilities is tied to proper maintenance and cleaning. Your stormwater facility will become less efficient over time as it becomes blocked by trash, sediment, and other pollutants.
ACE stormwater services will clean and maintain your stormwater facility with a wide variety of hydro-excavation and jetter vehicles, allowing us to service any construction or post construction site. After cleaning, ACE will remove all wet and dry materials and transport them off your site.
Stormwater Services Best Management Practices: Money In Your Pocket
From stormwater facility construction to maintenance, your commercial or residential property should use Best Management Practices. ACE Environmental will help you construct and maintain BMPs, and can help you seek reimbursement for these stormwater services from county-specific programs that encourage these practices. That’s money back in your pocket just for complying with BMPs!
Let ACE Environmental’s Stormwater Services Keep You Compliant
Since 2005, ACE Environmental has been providing stormwater services throughout Baltimore, Washington DC, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
