Standing water and flooded parking lots disrupt tenants, create safety hazards, and accelerate asphalt deterioration. Commercial properties and municipal sites are also required to filter stormwater runoff before it enters the local watershed, making compliance both an operational and legal necessity.
Lovett Services provides complete stormwater infrastructure maintenance for commercial, industrial, and municipal properties, from routine catch basin cleaning to emergency pump station response. Our heavy-duty vac trucks and specialized equipment handle the volume and complexity of commercial stormwater systems efficiently.
A four-step protocol that restores your stormwater infrastructure to full operational capacity and compliance.
We assess your stormwater infrastructure, measuring sediment accumulation levels and inspecting filter condition.
Heavy-duty vac trucks pump out standing water and extract accumulated sludge, sediment, and debris.
We install new storm filter cartridges and restore your drainage systems to full operational capacity.
We provide complete environmental compliance documentation for municipal submission and internal records.
Neglected stormwater infrastructure creates cascading risks — from property liability to environmental fines and structural damage.
Clogged catch basins cause surface flooding and slip-and-fall liability on your property.
Failed storm filters allow hydrocarbons and pollutants into local waterways — triggering environmental fines.
Flooded parking lots and loading docks disrupt tenant operations and deliveries.
Stormwater backups can infiltrate foundations and cause structural damage.
Municipal compliance violations result in substantial fines and permit revocations.
Routine maintenance prevents costly emergency extractions and system failures.
When routine maintenance is no longer enough to keep your system operational, Lovett Services offers comprehensive excavation and construction services for aging or damaged stormwater infrastructure. We repair collapsed lines, install new catch basins, and build complete, high-capacity stormwater facilities built for the specific needs of your industrial or multifamily property.
A major concern for commercial property managers is the disruption associated with heavy excavation. By using our directional drilling and trenchless technology capabilities, we can often repair or replace lines under obstacles without disturbing your existing surface — whether installing a new drainage pipe under an active driveway or replacing a crushed line beneath an established foundation.

The most cost-effective way to manage commercial stormwater infrastructure is by preventing emergencies before they happen.
For quarterly catch basin cleaning for a high-traffic retail center or annual storm filter checks for an industrial park, we build a program around your specific property layout and usage patterns.
We track your maintenance schedule and dispatch our technicians automatically. You never have to scramble for a vendor or remember to call — your infrastructure is already being managed by experts.
Routine maintenance drastically reduces the risk of after-hours failures. Proactively serviced systems rarely generate emergency calls, protecting both your property and your bottom line.
Severe weather and sudden system failures do not wait for business hours. When heavy Pacific Northwest rains overwhelm a compromised drainage system, surface water can quickly breach facility doors — flooding ground-floor units and destroying valuable inventory.
Lovett Services provides prompt, 24-hour emergency response for commercial and industrial properties experiencing stormwater crises. Our crews deploy heavy-duty vac trucks and powerful water extraction equipment to immediately resolve flooding and clear the underlying blockages. Once water is removed, our mitigation team can initiate structural drying and full-scale damage cleanup to safely restore your property.

“Our parking lot flooded — looked like a small lake. Called Lovett Saturday morning, they answered and showed up the same day. Scoped the storm water problem, fixed it, done. No excuses, no ‘we’ll get to you Monday.'”

Common questions from property managers, facilities teams, and municipal public works departments.
Cleaning frequency depends on the location and surrounding land use. High-traffic commercial lots in urban environments typically require cleaning twice per year — once in spring after winter debris accumulation, and once in fall before heavy rain season. We assess your property and recommend a schedule based on your specific drainage patterns.
Stormwater filtration systems use replaceable filter cartridges to capture sediment, hydrocarbons, and pollutants from runoff before it enters the municipal storm system. When cartridges become clogged, they must be replaced to maintain filtering effectiveness and regulatory compliance.
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency dispatch for flooded pump stations, stormwater vault overflows, and drainage system failures. Our heavy-duty vac trucks can extract large volumes of water rapidly, restoring your system to operational status as quickly as possible.
We provide complete service documentation including sediment volumes extracted, filter conditions, replacement records, and service dates. This documentation is formatted for submission to local municipalities, water bureaus, and environmental regulatory agencies.
Absolutely. We regularly partner with municipal public works departments across the Pacific Northwest for catch basin cleaning, stormwater vault maintenance, and storm filter replacement programs. We understand public works documentation requirements and provide compliant reporting for all municipal projects.
From routine catch basin cleaning to emergency pump station response, Lovett Services delivers the stormwater management expertise your commercial property demands.
