216-677-2707Storm Drain & Downspout Cleaning in Garfield Heights, OH
Get roof and yard water moving away from your foundation again.
When downspouts overflow at the ground connection, water pools along the foundation, or a yard drain stays full after a storm, the underground storm line is usually blocked. In many older Greater Cleveland homes, downspouts drop into buried clay or cast iron pipes that collect leaves, shingle grit, silt, and tree roots for decades. On Our Way Plumbing clears storm drains, downspout leaders, yard drains, catch basins, and driveway and area drains, and gets that water moving away from your foundation where it belongs.
We start at the downspout connection or cleanout and clear the line with a cable machine or hydro jetter, depending on what's in it — jetting is especially effective at flushing out packed silt and grit that a cable only pokes through. Then we run a camera to check for crushed sections, separated joints, and root intrusion, and use a sonde to locate where the line actually goes. Some older storm lines tie into the sanitary or combined sewer, while others run to the street, a ditch, or a dry well, and knowing which you have matters for both repairs and local rules.
Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy spring rains are hard on these lines, and a failed storm drain is a common cause of wet basements. If a section is broken, we'll give you a free quote on a spot repair or replacement. Call 216-677-2707 for storm drain and downspout cleaning in Garfield Heights and Greater Cleveland.
Why Garfield Heights Residents Choose On Our Way Plumbing
Named after President James A. Garfield, who lived nearby in Mentor before his election in 1880, Garfield Heights has been a proud southeast Cleveland suburb since its incorporation in 1919. The city of roughly 28,000 residents sits along the high ground overlooking the Cuyahoga River valley, with neighborhoods that developed primarily in the 1940s and 1950s. The Turney Road and Granger Road corridors serve as the city's commercial arteries, while the area around the former Marymount Hospital and along Hathaway Road includes some of the community's most established residential streets — homes with plumbing that's now 70+ years old.

Storm Drain & Downspout Cleaning in Garfield Heights — FAQ
