The inspectors look for high sediment levels, missing components, and drainage problems. Most of the time, the maintenance that needs to be done is the removal of excessive sediment. When a catch basin or flow control structure gets too full, it stops functioning, and it is time for the property owner to clean it out. Sometimes parts of the drainage system break off or were never installed. After the inspection, the inspectors send a follow-up letter detailing what needs to be corrected, how it can be done, and a list of contractors who specialize in this kind of repair work.
Summer is the perfect time to think about water.
