Inspection, cleaning and maintenance of stormwater best management practices, from ponds and swales to filters and underground structures.
If your site has a detention or retention pond, a sand filter, a separator, or an underground vault, the county and your permit expect it to keep performing, and that burden sits with the property owner or the association board, not with whoever built it. Stormwater BMP maintenance in Seguin covers the inspection, cleaning, and upkeep that keeps those systems doing their job instead of quietly failing between storms.
Seguin sits on rich Guadalupe River bottomland, and that soil moves. We see forebays silted in well ahead of schedule on properties near Starcke Park and Mill Creek, slow drawdown in basins shaded by old pecans where leaf litter chokes the outlet, and volunteer saplings taking root on embankments that were graded clean a few years back. Around Navarro, older lots built before current detention standards often have outlet structures that were never sized for the runoff now coming off newer development upstream. Heavy spring rain off the river bottom finds every one of those weak points fast.
Working with us on this scope starts with a walk of the pond, swales, and any underground structures so you know exactly what is sediment, what is vegetation, and what is a structural issue that needs the property engineer involved. We handle the cleaning and maintenance to the plan already on file for your site, and we leave you with compliance-ready documentation so your board, your lender, or the county has what it needs on hand.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Seguin property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and stormwater bmp maintenance that holds up to Guadalupe County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We schedule a free on-site visit, usually within 48 hours of your call, and walk the pond, swales, filters, or underground structures with you or your maintenance lead. We note sediment depth, vegetation condition, outlet structures, and anything that looks like a structural concern needing the property engineer. You get a clear scope and price before any work starts, no guessing from a satellite photo.
It depends on the site, but bottomland soil along the Guadalupe silts in faster than sandier ground, so annual inspection is the minimum we recommend for most properties. A heavy spring rain event, a noticeable slowdown in drawdown, or standing water where there usually is not any are all signs to call sooner. Pecan-heavy lots also need an extra look after leaf drop each fall.
Yes. Most of this work happens in the pond, swale, or underground structure itself, away from units and storefronts, so we plan equipment staging and any lane or lot closures around your property's traffic patterns. For HOA and apartment sites we coordinate timing with your manager so residents get notice before we're on site, especially if a drive or parking row needs to stay clear.
That soil is fertile and fine-grained, which means it settles out in forebays and low-flow channels faster than sandier ground elsewhere in the Hill Country. It also grows volunteer vegetation quickly on embankments and side slopes if they are not kept mowed and cleared, and tree roots from nearby pecans can work into slopes and outlet structures over time.
Sediment volume and access are the two biggest factors. A forebay with a few inches of silt and a clear access road costs less to clean than a basin with heavy deposits and limited equipment access. Underground structures and separators typically run on a separate line item depending on depth and confined-space requirements. Vegetation removal, especially established trees on an embankment, also adds to scope.
