At The Waterworks, we specialize in catch basin and storm sewer cleaning, repair, and installation for residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal properties across Columbus and Central Ohio.

Benefits of Routine Catch Basin & Storm Sewer Maintenance
A properly functioning catch basin system plays a vital role in keeping public spaces, parking lots, and properties dry. Regular cleaning and maintenance provide the following benefits:
- Prevents Water Backups & Flooding – Ensures proper drainage of rainwater and melting snow.
- Reduces Odors & Sewer Gas Smells – Minimizes unpleasant odors in neighborhoods and commercial areas.
- Protects Roads, Sidewalks & Basements – Prevents flooding that can damage foundations and pavement.
- Improves Pedestrian Safety – Eliminates standing water and splashing hazards.
- Keeps Public Spaces Clean – Reduces mud, debris, and contaminants from entering homes, stores, and offices.
Routine maintenance prevents costly repairs and helps avoid fines or compliance issues with city drainage regulations.
Comprehensive Catch Basin & Storm Sewer Services
Catch basins, also known as storm sewers, collect and redirect rainwater and runoff from roads, parking lots, and buildings. Over time, mud, leaves, trash, and grease accumulate, leading to clogs and standing water.
At The Waterworks, we provide:
- Catch Basin Cleaning & Maintenance – Clears blockages that restrict water flow.
- Storm Drain Hydro-Jetting – Uses high-pressure water jets to flush debris and buildup.
- Vacuum Truck Debris Removal – Extracts years of accumulated waste, sludge, and grease.
- Sewer Line Patching & Repair – Fixes damaged pipes and prevents leaks.
- Trenchless PipeLining for Aging Storm Sewers – Non-invasive renewal solutions to extend the system’s lifespan.
- New Drainage System Installations – Planning and installation for municipalities, businesses, and residential properties.
- Drainage System Upgrades – Adds additional catch points for improved water flow.
Whether your stormwater system needs cleaning, emergency repairs, or a full system upgrade, we have the expertise and equipment to get the job done efficiently.
No Rental Fees, No Delays – We Own Our Equipment

Our Equipment Includes:
- Hydro-Jet Trucks – High-pressure water jetting to clear blockages and debris.
- Hydro-Vacuuming Trucks – Safely removes sludge, dirt, and standing water from storm drains.

Technician was very skilled and professional. He guided us through the best solution even though a little more expensive (nothing to do with what he was being paid). Water works is our plumber when needed
Great service responding to our call about a broken pipe. Same day service, took care of business and fixed the problem. The service tech was great and we very much appreciate him walking us through the problem and providing options. Send all your plumbing requests here.
Aaron arrived within the allotted time window. He was extremely professional and informative. He fixed the problem and provided video evidence. He clean up the area, which was outside, even though I told him it was unnecessary. I HIGHLY recommend Waterworks and Aaron in particular!!
Jordan was amazing and very detailed. He let me know what caused the back up in my basement drain and confirmed that my sewage line was perfectly fine. Within an hour my basement was clear of standing water. Thank you Jordan and the Water Works Team!
For me, the Waterworks has always been very professional, prompt, and they thoroughly explained what repairs were needed and the associated costs. I have used them many times and highly recommend their services.
JonLe is a great company! They have been there for me whenever I've needed them. That's loyalty to their customers that you don't see very often anymore. Good job JonLe!!!
The waterworks drain division of this company is great to work with call them in the morning and they were out that afternoon. Luke, the technician is super good at what he does.
ALL GOOD. JOSE THE TECH PROFFESSIONAL OBVIOUSLY A GREAT HANDLE ON DRAINS!
Great people make for great experiences- especially contractors coming into you home !
Our technician took the time to diagnose the problem accurately & made sure the right drain was cleared. Very job!!
We had our furnace/heat pump winter check and service done by Matt, he was great, explaining what he checked and offering details about how well the units are running and that we were ready for the winter season. We have used Jonle since we moved to our new condo in 2016 subscribing to their Energy Savings/Preventive Maintenance Service Plan. It provides twice per year check up services by their friendly, knowledgeable service technicians. They explain what they have cleaned and checked and how your units are running which is helpful. The few times our unit needed a replacement part or repair, it was explained clearly; the repair was done promptly and the pricing was very reasonable. With Jonle, we feel very comfortable that our HVAC systems are always in top condition.
Been with JonLe since 1999. Very responsive and very good service. Wil and Tim the techs have been excellent .
Peter came out to have a look at my garbage disposal, and repaired it very quickly. He was really friendly and knowledgeable. I have used Waterworks for different needs in the past, and I wouldn't think of calling anyone else.
Chris was fantastic. Replaced the piping under the sink and made sure the disposal and dishwasher worked. If needed again, i will call Waterworks and also request Chris.
Great service. the technician came punctually. Very friendly, very knowledgeable. Great service, no complaints.
Very polite and professional answered all my questions while he did the job and even cleaned up the area he was in. I am very happy I choose the right company. Thanks Water Works
Great service. On time with clear communication through the whole process. Great company!
Every technician we have encountered over the years has been friendly, competent, and thorough. It is very reassuring to know that someone is keeping an eye on our system to spot issues before they get worse.
Great and quick service, technical support was professional and friendly
The entire service was very professional and pleasant. Quick scheduling and prompt arrival. The technician Kevin has done a great job! We will definitely be working with him and other technicians again. 👍
The price that I indicated covers me for 12 months and two maintenances each year. It also results in reduced costs if I do end up having an actual problem as well as I promise that somebody would be at my home within an hour.
Whether it’s indoors or outdoors The Waterworks really takes care of business. They came out to fix our discharge line. The Waterworks technician even showed us where the home builder didn’t properly glue the fittings together. Before services is the photo on the left. After service is on the right. Very fast efficient service from The Waterworks!
Excellent service performed by your technician. Heating maintenance on my 24 yr old system which Jonle has kept running flawlessly for that time.
So far experience has been a good one. Company has communicated well and as promised, employee was knowledgeable and clear with expectations. I appreciate this as this kind of work can be stressful and I need to trust who I’m working with.
Waterworks was prompt in arriving and professional in solving our drainage problem. I will certainly use them again in the future.
Replacing an entire HVAC system is incredibly stressful. Not just because of the cost, but also the fear of being taken advantage of or making a really bad situation even worse. Our experience with JonLe, however, could not have been better. We would gladly give this review 10 stars if we could. First, Frank (a former installer now in sales) and our lead installer, Jared, have been with the company for 30 and 16 years respectively. Their experience showed immediately from the first visit. They pointed out simple improvements to the water line for the humidifier plus the ductwork with ways to increase airflow that have already made a huge difference in the performance of the new system. The price, warranty, and service agreement were all better than the four other Cincinnati companies we spoke with. JonLe also offered the most favorable financing terms on a new Carrier system, along with helpful information about a tax credit we can claim before the end of 2025. The best part of the entire experience was the installation by Jared and Sam. It took three days because they took their time and did things right. I’ve included photos of their craftsmanship. Thank you for turning a VERY stressful situation into a much easier one. Both in terms of the final product and the cost. You truly exceeded our expectations.
Noah was on time, checked furnace and explained what he was doing. Very satisfied.
Jason was my tech that was here to do our gold service for the winter... very courteous and did a very complete inspection as well as changing the humidifier filter... nice to have quality professional people doing our service... Thanks JonLee
Arrived on time. Took Extra Care to cover areas that might be in a Splash Zone. Explained everything clearly.
I have used this company for more than 20 years and am very satisfied with the service. I find the staff very pleasant and easy to work with
