Stormwater Facility Inspection & Maintenance
Stormwater Facility MAINTENANCE
Stormwater facilities come in many shapes and sizes - from above ground ponds to underground detention systems; from infiltration basins to bioretention; from tree boxes to hydrodynamic separators and stormwater filters. All of these have one thing in common - they require ongoing maintenance.
We can help:
create and perform a maintenance program that fits the needs of your property
rehabilitate a stormwater facility that has received a notice of violation
perform required annual inspections by DEQ certified stormwater inspectors
Exact Stormwater Management performs stormwater facility maintenance and inspections across the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond. Let us help you - contact us now.
Filterra Tree Box Filter
As the name-brand tree box stormwater filter, Filterra was introduced to Virginia many years ago. We suggest routine annual maintenance on these systems or a multitude of costly issues can occur. Media contamination and overgrown trees are the most common issues that we deal with, and can lead to costly repairs up to replacing the entire system.
High-flow Biofilters
All rain gardens, including the high-flow FocalPoint, StormGarden, and BioPod biofilter systems, require annual maintenance to ensure optimum performance. Annual maintenance guarantees that these systems are allowing for the high flow rates and maximum pollutant extraction that they were designed to accommodate.
Underground Detention
Keep your underground stormwater detention, infiltration, and cistern systems working properly with regular inspections and required maintenance. We perform inspections (including camera inspections) and maintenance on all underground detention systems including: R-Tank, RainTank, StormTech arch chambers, isolator rows, Cultec, pipe detention systems by Contech, ADS, Lane Enterprises, and others.
Stormwater POND, Detention Ponds, Wet Ponds
Stormwater ponds can be an effective and attractive method of managing water quality and flow. They require regular maintenance to remove sediment, keep inlets and outlets clear and free of debris, and properly maintain vegetation. Our Aquatics Division can restore the functionality of your pond and develop a routine maintenance program to protect your investment and keep your site beautiful.
ALGAE MANAGEMENT
Chemical/dye-based solutions are a great way to manage submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), floating weeds, emergent plants and algae in the short term, but repeated applications can have long term side effects that reduce the micro biotic diversity within the pond. For this reason, Exact Stormwater carefully selects the chemicals and the application rates we use to ensure they are ideally suited to the specific problems within your pond.
In addition to chemical treatment for symptoms, we recommend bacterial treatment to address the most common problems in ponds - overabundant nutrients. The bacteria breaks down the excess nitrogen in the water column, helping to mitigate algae blooms. Additionally, we utilize mechanical controls such as bubblers to add oxygen to the water, providing multiple benefits. While fish and other organisms love the extra oxygen, bubblers also keep the water temperatures consistent throughout the pond (which helps prevent algae growth), as well as aids in the breakdown of muck that sits on the bottom of the pond causing long-term problems (in addition to being gross).
TRASH MANAGEMENT
Capture trash before it enters your stormwater pond to protect water quality and maintain the aesthetic appeal of natural areas. This innovative netting acts as a barrier, intercepting debris carried by rainwater runoff and preventing it from polluting the pond. By trapping litter and larger waste materials, we can not only help keep the water clean for aquatic life, but also enhance the visual environment, transforming what could be an eyesore into a cleaner, more inviting landscape.
Sand/Cartridge Filters, Hydrodynamic Separators
We maintain all types of manufactured treatment devices (MTD’s) such as sand filters, cartridge filters like StormFilter, Bayfilter, Perk filter, Jellyfish filter, Modular Wetlands, and many others. We have industrial vacuums that remove sediment from these filters as well as hydrodynamic separators such as Hydroguard, Stormceptor, Contech CDS, Baysaver, First Defense, Aqua-Swirl, Downstream Defender, Vortechs, and others.
Stormwater Inspections
We have a team of DEQ certified stormwater inspectors who perform Stormwater Facility Inspections for clients all over the Commonwealth and beyond. We have annual contracts with Property Managers, Home Owner Associations, and individual property owners.
Performing above ground as well as confined space inspections, we are a one-stop shop for your stormwater inspection needs.
