HOW SWEEPING SERVICES PREVENT COSTLY STORM DRAIN CLOGS & PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY

Why Blocked Storm Drains Are a Major Issue

Even in a dry climate like Las Vegas, storm drain blockages can cause serious issues for commercial and industrial properties. Over time, dirt, sand, and leaves accumulate, clogging drainage systems and causing significant issues when it rains, such as:

Standing water and vehicle damage in parking lots and roadways
Flooded walkways and entrances, increasing safety hazards
Stormwater compliance violations and potential fines

Don’t wait until the next storm exposes a major blockage! Many property managers don’t think about their storm drains until heavy rain causes an issue—but by then, the damage has already been done.

How Sweeping Prevents Flooding & Protects Your Property

Regular sweeping services prevent storm drain clogs, reducing debris buildup before it leads to flooding and costly damage. A proactive sweeping plan helps:

Reduce the risk of flooding by keeping storm drains clear
Improve safety by preventing water buildup in high-traffic areas
Maintain compliance with local stormwater regulations

Sweeping Services Prevent Storm Drain Clogs and Support Compliance

Routine sweeping not only helps prevent flooding but also keeps businesses compliant with Clark County stormwater regulations and reduces the risk of EPA fines for improper runoff management. Keeping parking lots and roadways clear of debris ensures proper drainage and environmental compliance year-round.

Tip: Schedule Sweeping Ahead of the Rainy Season

Although Las Vegas doesn't experience frequent rainfall, when it does rain, it happens quickly, and clogged drains can cause costly damage.

Key Las Vegas Weather Patterns

Most of the annual precipitation occurs between November and March, with February being the wettest month.
February through mid-March often bring increased rainfall, making early spring a critical time for storm drain maintenance.
Monsoon season (June–September) arrives in late summer, bringing fast, powerful thunderstorms and flash floods that can quickly overwhelm blocked drainage systems.

Plan ahead! Prevent unexpected flooding by scheduling sweeping services before rainy seasons begin.
