Protect Your Property with Expert Stormwater Drainage Solutions
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.
Unlike many companies that rely on rented equipment, we own and operate our Hydro-Excavation and Jetting equipment, eliminating rental delays and unnecessary costs. This allows us to respond quickly to drainage issues—especially after heavy storms and severe weather events.
Call us today to schedule catch basin and storm sewer maintenance for your property!
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
Unlike companies that rent hydro-excavation tools, The Waterworks owns and operates all of our industrial-grade cleaning and repair equipment. This allows us to provide faster, more cost-effective service without delays.
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.
- Trenchless PipeLining Equipment – Non-invasive repairs to restore aging pipes without digging.
- Video Camera Inspections – Locates blockages, leaks, and pipe damage underground.
By owning our own fleet, we guarantee quick response times, lower service costs, and minimal property disruption.

We had a middle of the night water leak in our laundry room with water pouring into our basement. We called Waterworks 24/7 emergency line, off of a family recommendation, to get an after hours technician. One was available and called shortly to let us know he was on his way. Michael was so helpful and level headed when we were tired and trying to figure out how much damage was done and how it happened. He figured out the problem and walked through what he needed to do, what to do to get everything dried up, and what we would need moving forward. We have had some not so great experiences with getting the run around or a sales pitch from other service providers for home repairs before, but this experience was genuinely helpful and shot straight, which was refreshing. We will happily use Waterworks again.
Quick service, knowledgeable & friendly technician. Clean area upon completion of the job
Rob came in and went right to work. He explained what he was going to do. He was careful not to make a mess.
Waterworks Plumbing is professional, reputable and easy to work with. I have confidence in their diagnosis, service, and recommendations. I will use their service again in the future.
My technician Brandon B solved my problem immediately was courteous, professional, and outstanding at his job. Price was more than fair. I give the entire experience three thumbs up.
Waterworks came over to check on my hot water heater, which I thought needed replacement. Turns out it’s working fine and the tech recommended NOT replacing it at this time. The tech was friendly and explained things well. Plus he was HONEST! I’m a Waterworks customer from now on!
Our technician Matt was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. The job was done quickly and at a fair price. Will def use Waterworks again!
We have been customers for 20 years and Jonle has always provided excellent service.
JonLe Heating and Cooling is a well run business. The service is trustworthy and effective. They communicate very well. No surprises. I have asked several involved questions and they have always responded quickly and right to the point. In a world where customer service is disappearing, JonLe excels in customer service.
Chad is always friendly and efficient. He explains what he finds and what he does. I have no reservations about recommending JonLe.
Technican Ian Knecht was very helpful and efficient. He explained what steps he was taking to identify the cause of the problem and the procedures he took to make the repair quickly.
Jonle does an amazing job. We had routine check on A/C along with new PVC piping to humidifier. Kevin the technician was great. Explanation of everything was wonderful.
These two young men came out to put in downspouts. They worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. I would call The Waterworks again if needed and definitely have recommended them to family and friends.
JonLe did an excellent job installing our HVAC unit and continue to provide great service and maintenance.
Replaced outdoor hose bib attached to front of home. Work was done by Brandon. He did a great job. I expected to pay $500 based on research i.e. Angi’s List. I paid $700. I did receive a $35 senior discount. Easy to schedule service.
Drains on both tubs not draining quickly enough when showering & kitchen sink was backing up into the tub. Called Waterworks and they were able to get someone out the same day. They are now draining as expected.
I had a big mess !!!!!!!! The WaterWorks was the only company that I contacted that had the knowledge and equipment. Next Day service !!!!♾️❤️
Jonle is the trusted HVAC provider for my condo building and they are awesome! They are flexible (my grandmother lives in the same building and they were able to schedule both of our spring maintenance on the same day), knowledgeable, and very competitively priced. Highly recommended!
Tim did a great job servicing our AC unit. He noticed an item that needed replacing and took care of it while he was here. Thank you Tim !
After 28 years of having enjoyed the peace of mind a company such as JonLe provides in total care and upkeep of my HVAC system I highly recommend anyone new in the area or anyone wanting to find better quality service than they are used to having with their own provider to give JonLe a call, you won't be sorry!
Great service and professionalism by the service technician with my repair.
Logan L. did an Awesome job!!! He was so kind & patient with explaining everything! He went above and beyond!! 👏🏻🙂♥️ Thank you Logan & Waterworks!!! I will never call any other company!!!
Chad was a delight to deal with. On-time, friendly and efficient. He has served us well for several years. Simply put, " Good Job ".
My technician was very efficient and cleaned up after he was finished also he was very personable
Ryan from WaterWorks did a fantastic job installing a new toilet. He was upfront with pricing over the phone. Ryan was knowledgeable and explained everything and answered questions. We will definitely use WaterWorks again.
I’ve used JonLe for years whether general maintenance, service or replacement. Every single person I have worked with from the office to the techs to the sales team have been so great to work with. Always friendly and professional, extremely fair and they don’t try to push unnecessary or unneeded items, take the time to explain and educate at the same time. They will continue to be my go to team!
Waterworks does preventative maintenance on my sewer line yearly. I have a lot of trees and the roots can be pesky. I always request for Dave Canning to do the work. He is prompt, professional and has many years of experience. Highly recommend them!
Travis did a great job. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about how to use the Waterwork's great technology to be sure our drains were completely clear.
kept well informed with multiple reminders, texts with detailed information about service and the Tech prior to arriving......pic of the Tech in the text was a nice touch
