“Three seasons of progressively worse flooding. Camera found sediment throughout and a partial collapse. LiningWorks jetted the full system and spot-lined the collapse in one mobilization. Zero flooding events through the following storm season including two significant rain events.”
PROBLEM SIGN · STORM DRAIN REHABILITATION
Frequent street flooding from failing storm drains is getting worse — not better.
Street flooding that gets worse with each storm season, that's occurring at lower storm event intensities than before, or that begins appearing in locations where flooding wasn't occurring previously — these are indicators of progressive storm drain capacity loss, not normal regional weather patterns.

WHY STREET FLOODING GETS WORSE
How storm drain system deterioration causes progressive flooding.
Street flooding from deteriorating storm drain systems follows a predictable pattern — each storm season is a little worse than the last, until flooding occurs during storms that the system should handle without difficulty.
Progressive sediment accumulation reduces hydraulic capacity each year
Structural deterioration creates partial flow restrictions that worsen over time
Increased impervious area increases runoff volume beyond design capacity
Inlet blockage from debris accumulation reduces inlet capture efficiency
DIAGNOSIS BEFORE REMEDIATION
Why the cause of flooding determines the solution.
Street flooding from storm drain problems has different causes with different solutions — camera inspection identifies which mechanism is causing the flooding before any remediation scope is developed.
- Sediment-caused flooding: camera identifies and jetting resolvesWhen camera inspection finds significant sediment accumulation restricting capacity, hydro jetting restores the design cross-section — addressing the capacity loss directly and efficiently.
- Structural obstruction: camera confirms and CIPP lining resolvesWhen camera finds partial collapse or root intrusion creating a physical flow restriction, CIPP lining following root cutting addresses the structural source — not just the symptoms.
- Capacity limitation: camera and hydraulic analysis identifies the gapWhen camera finds the pipe is in serviceable structural condition but flooding still occurs, hydraulic capacity analysis identifies whether the system was under-designed for current conditions — determining whether rehabilitation or infrastructure augmentation is needed.
LOCATIONS WITH HIGHEST FLOODING RISK
Commercial property configurations with the highest storm drain flooding vulnerability.
Street flooding risk from storm drain failure is highest in specific property configurations — particularly those with high impervious coverage, aging infrastructure, and low surface grades.
Low-gradient commercial sites with aging underground storm drain infrastructure
Urban commercial properties with combined infrastructure serving multiple properties
Properties at the lower end of a drainage shed with upstream development
Retail and service properties where flooding impairs access and operations
BEFORE & AFTER
Commercial service district — progressive flooding resolved with system jetting and spot lining.
A Charlotte commercial service district had experienced worsening parking lot and street flooding over three consecutive storm seasons. Camera inspection found significant sediment accumulation throughout the main storm drain system and a partial collapse at one section creating an additional flow restriction.
LiningWorks hydro-jetted the full storm drain system, removing accumulated sediment and restoring hydraulic capacity, then installed a spot liner at the partial collapse location. Post-jetting camera confirmed full sediment clearance and liner bond at the collapse section. No flooding occurred during the following storm season.

WHY LININGWORKS
Camera-first storm drain flooding diagnosis and rehabilitation.
Street flooding from storm drain capacity loss has specific causes — camera inspection identifies which one before any rehabilitation scope is recommended.
Camera identifies the specific cause of capacity loss
Hydro jetting and CIPP lining address both sediment and structural causes
All rehabilitation through existing storm drain access — no excavation
Documentation confirms capacity restoration for property records
HOW TO GET STARTED
Get storm drain flooding resolved before the next storm season.
Camera identifies the cause — we address it with the right combination of jetting and rehabilitation.
Call and describe the flooding pattern
336-477-3218, Mon–Sat 7AM–6PM. Where the water pools, how quickly during storms, whether it's worsening each season — describe the flooding pattern and we'll schedule the right assessment.
Camera inspection identifies the capacity loss mechanism
We scope the storm drain system to identify sediment accumulation, structural obstructions, and any capacity limitations — then develop a combined remediation scope.
Jetting and structural rehabilitation restore capacity without excavation
Hydro jetting and CIPP lining through existing access restore design capacity. Post-rehabilitation camera confirms results. Full documentation at project close-out.
