Storm water drain cleaning across Dubai

When rain arrives in Dubai it often arrives fast, and storm drains only cope if they are clear. Between downpours, gullies and catch basins fill with the fine sand, dust and debris the climate leaves behind, and a blocked storm line means water pooling on roads, in car parks and around buildings within minutes. We clear and jet storm drainage so the water has a path to follow when it matters.

We work for villas, communities, facilities and commercial sites right across the emirate, on one off clears or as part of a pre season maintenance plan.

Storm drain FAQs

When should storm drains be cleaned in Dubai?

Ideally before the rain season and after any significant dust or sand storm. Because Dubai rain can be heavy and sudden, a clear storm drain is what stops roads, yards and car parks from flooding when it does arrive.

Do you clear gullies and catch basins?

Yes. We clear gully pots, catch basins and the storm lines that connect them, removing sand, silt, leaves and debris and jetting the lines so they carry water freely again.

Can blocked storm drains cause flooding?

Yes. When gullies and storm lines are silted or blocked, rain has nowhere to go and pools quickly on the surface. Clearing them beforehand is the simplest way to prevent that flooding.

Do you offer scheduled storm drain maintenance?

Yes. For communities, facilities and commercial sites we can set up scheduled clearing so storm drainage is maintained ahead of the season, rather than dealt with as an emergency.

Is there a storm drain cleaning service near me in Dubai?

Yes. We clear storm drains across every community in Dubai, so a team is always within reach. Tell us your area and the number of drains when you call and we will arrange a visit, usually the same week or sooner.
