A well-maintained stormwater drainage system is essential for preventing flooding, odors, and debris buildup. 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.

JonLe was awesome to work with they didn’t hassle us during the buying process or make us feel rushed, they gave us time and space to figure things out and let us know if we had questions we were free to ask. Makes it easier when making a huge purchase for your home. We were able to call and schedule the new HVAC install quickly and they work efficiently and left everything clean and tidy when done! They explained everything to us when they finished the install and let us know all the important details and what to expect. I would highly recommend JonLe to anyone in need of a new HVAC system! They also had very easy finance options for the system which was also nice to see.
We’ve been loyal JonLe customers since 1996 which included replacing all furnaces and A/C units as well as installing zoned heating and cooling solutions throughout our homes. They are always highly professional, prompt with excellent service at all times. I would not go anywhere else. Their sales, installation and service teams are first rate! Thanks JonLe!
The technician was very polite and knowledgeable about his job. He did an excellent job and was very enthusiastic about his work.
The technicians were very friendly and knowledgable. They explained what was wrong and what they did to fix the problem. They also told me my unit was under warranty for parts and labor, so I did not have to pay for the service. That was a nice surprise! Thank you JonLee!
We had a backup in the main sanitary line of one of our office buildings. Logan stuck with it till the issue was resolved. Even through some of the frustrations Logan handled everything with grace and professionalism.
I had a problem with my kitchen sink draining, I called and had Kevin show up within a couple of hours he was able to clear the line. I was very pleased to get my problem taken care of in such a timely manor.
Kitchen drain not draining properly. Came and cleaned out with the equipment needed to do the job.
Furnace quit, long term gold plan service contract, Jonle said they would be right there, fixed the issue in minutes and then stayed and did my spring maintenance cleaning.
We have used Jonle for many years and have always had great service.
Came out to check a leak and let me know it was an HOA issue. Didn’t even charge me for the visit. 10/10
Great job. On time. Worked until clogg was cleared. Special thanks to John. Super nice and professional 👌 👏
Jonle was recommended to me by a friend and I have been under contract with them for 2 years. Best decision ever. They call and schedule a check up of my furnace and heat pump twice a year at my convenience. Their employees are top notch and willing to answer any questions. I definitely recommend Jonle to anyone who asks.
Wade, your technician was very thorough and professional. Above all, he was persistent and did not give up on clearing the drain pipe clog, even after snaking the drain multiple times! Step by step he considered all potential causes until the clog was cleared. Thank you Wade.
Sam was very knowledgeable and treated our house with such respect. Our house is under construction. He wore covers over his shoes as not to track in debris and he cleaned up after himself as he was working and after his job was completed. Not only was the job completed with expertise but with such kindness and understanding. I hope Waterworks knows what a valuable employee they have.
On time. The technician gave an easy to understand explanation of exactly what he was doing. Very well trained.
The appointment was made on time and very efficiently done, when the technician was done all the service was explained with pictures of everything done- could not have asked for more- thanks
Middle of the night and Waterworks saved my family. Fantastic serce
Great emergency service . Service technician very knowledgeable and did high quality work.
Andrew did a fine job, good communication and explanations. Thank you, Bob
The service man arrived on time and was very knowledgeable regarding the process of finding the problem and repairing it. I have Jonle to service the furnage for many years and have never concered any other company.
Broken waterline. They came out right away to assess. Provided an estimate the same day. Once the work was done, cleaned up.
The repairman came out at 2 AM To fix my burst pipes that were frozen. The repair was made in great time. Excellent service 👍
I have used Waterworks for many years. Chris is great. He gave excellent advice, handled a few curve-balls quickly and professionally, and did solid work.
Had my furnaces and air conditioning units installed and I’ve always have had great service. Chad is my go to Guy and he comes over and gets everything set back up if needed. We’ll always recommend If asked.
The technician was awesome, explained everything very clearly. Would highly recommend
He looked at my gave me recommendations and didn’t charge me anything! Nice guy!
We have been using JonLe for almost 40 years. We have never had a single problem with them. The office staff are always very friendly and helpful. The technician’s are always on time and very knowledgeable and respectful of your property. They will advise you have any issues and make suggestions to improve your heating and cooling systems but they are never a hard sell. They have been with us through 2 houses and now a condo. We always purchase the yearly maintenance package so they come once in the spring and again late fall or early winter. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Thank you. Gj and Doris Poore Walton Ky
Our heat pump was making lots of noise so we called JonLe to come out and take a look. Our tech Will was great! He answered all our questions and eased our concerns. Getting a new system installed today! Excellent service all around!
Tim F. did an EXCEPTIONAL job repairing our furnace! He was so professional, respectful, courteous and friendly. He explained exactly what the problem was and repaired it promptly. He took the time to test it and make sure it was running properly. I am extremely satisfied! Stay safe and warm out there!
My intention was to have sent this email a few days ago, but it is only now that I have the opportunity to do so. I want to express my appreciation to Waterworks for the prompt response to our request for emergency services on Tuesday 1/27 and especially to Mat Ball, the technician who, despite weather conditions, made it to our home early that morning. Mat was knowledgeable and diligent and took care of the situation in a timely and professional manner. When the job was completed, he walked us through all that was needed to get it done. Many people take care of business, what sets Mat apart is the pleasant demeanor he exhibits while performing his responsibilities. Great Job, J.A.Mesquida
Had them do a water softener installation. Plumber who showed up at my house was very polite, personable, and efficient. Didn’t take him long at all to do the job, was even able to do things in a way that saved us about $400 off the original estimate. Would highly recommend this company for plumbing needs.
