Storm Drainage in Savannah, GA

Pipe repair, catch basins, and outfall work for properties across Savannah and Chatham County. Local team, own equipment, direct execution.

Storm drainage pipe installation

Savannah's aging infrastructure and intense summer storms create drainage failures that can't wait for a subcontractor.

Savannah's storm drainage systems face unique pressures that most coastal cities don't deal with. The Historic District's century-old infrastructure wasn't designed for today's rainfall intensity, while newer developments across Chatham County deal with high water tables that cause pipe joints to fail. When you add over 50 inches of annual rainfall and those brutal summer thunderstorms, drainage problems become expensive fast.

GA EPD doesn't mess around with stormwater violations, and the Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission has specific standards for drainage capacity. Whether you're managing a downtown commercial property or a suburban development, failed catch basins and clogged storm pipes can trigger compliance issues. The coastal clay and sand soils here shift with moisture changes, putting extra stress on underground systems that other inland areas don't experience.

What storm drainage looks like in Savannah.

Catch Basin Repair & Replacement

Complete catch basin reconstruction using equipment sized for Savannah's tight downtown spaces. We handle everything from Historic District accessibility challenges to new installations meeting current GA EPD standards.

Storm Pipe Installation & Replacement

Underground pipe replacement in Chatham County's challenging soil conditions. Our hydro-vac equipment handles high water table excavation without damaging existing utilities in dense commercial areas.

Outfall Repair & Maintenance

Coastal outfall systems require specialized attention due to tidal influences and saltwater exposure. We repair erosion damage and reconstruct outfalls to handle Savannah's intense storm surge capacity needs.

CCTV Inspection & Cleaning

Complete drainage system assessment using camera inspection to locate blockages, joint failures, and root intrusion common in Savannah's older infrastructure before problems become expensive emergencies.

We're based in Bluffton, just 45 minutes from downtown Savannah with our own heavy equipment.

When your storm drainage fails during a summer thunderstorm, you need equipment on-site fast, not a phone call to find subcontractors. We know Savannah's soil conditions, GA EPD requirements, and how to work around the Historic District's access limitations. Our crews understand Chatham County's development standards and can get permits processed quickly because we've worked with these municipalities for years.
