Removal of sediment, leaves, trash and debris from catch basins, storm drains, grates and connected structures to keep drainage moving.
In Schertz, the association or property manager is the one who answers for a storm drain that backs up onto a parking lot or a catch basin that sends a sump pump crew a drainage complaint at The Crossvine, Ashley Park, Forest Ridge or anywhere else inside the city's footprint. Corral Bros cleans catch basins and storm drains for the HOAs, management companies and general contractors who carry that responsibility, so the system moves water the way it was built to instead of becoming the thing residents or tenants call about.
Schertz sits on blackland clay, and that clay swells when it is wet and cracks open when it dries, which pulls grates out of true and opens gaps at pipe joints over a few seasons. In the newer sections along the I-35 and FM 78 corridor, construction silt is still working its way into basins years after the builder left, so a forebay that looked fine at turnover can be half full within a couple of growing seasons. We also see slow drawdown after a storm, volunteer trees rooting into embankments, and grates packed with leaves and trash that a crew never gets to until the water is already standing.
Working with Corral Bros on this starts with a walk of the basins, drains and connected lines on your property so you know what is actually sitting in them before any work begins. We pull sediment, leaves, and trash out of the sump, clear the grates and inlets, haul the debris off site, and check the connected lines while we are there. You get a scope that matches what we found, scheduled around your tenants, residents or an association's calendar, not a guess made from the street.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Schertz property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and catch basin & storm drain cleaning that holds up to Guadalupe County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We walk the catch basins, grates and connected drainage on your property, usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call, and give you a free, no-obligation estimate based on what we actually see in the basin and lines. For HOA boards or management companies with multiple structures on a property, we note each one separately so you know which basins need attention first.
It depends on the age of the development and how much bare or disturbed ground drains into the system. Newer sections near The Crossvine and other master-planned areas off I-35 and FM 78 often need more frequent cleanouts in the first few years because construction silt is still moving through the system, while older, more established sections can usually go longer between visits.
Blackland clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, and that movement works grates loose, opens gaps at pipe joints and tilts inlet structures over time. On Schertz properties we often find sediment collecting faster than it would on sandier ground, along with embankments that have started growing volunteer trees because a basin has sat full and undisturbed for too long.
We schedule around your property's traffic, whether that means early-morning work at a retail center, coordinating with an HOA board on shared parking areas, or timing a drain clearing around an apartment complex's busier hours. We will talk through access and parking with whoever manages the site before we start so the work does not collide with your residents or tenants.
The main factors are how much sediment and debris has built up, how many structures and connected lines are on the property, and how accessible the basins are for haul-away. A forebay that has not been touched since construction will take more time than a basin on a routine schedule, and sites with tight access or heavy landscaping around the structures add time as well.
