Blocked stormwater systems can lead to street flooding, ponding in parking lots, and overloaded downstream infrastructure. These issues are particularly concerning in Oregon, where heavy rains can quickly exacerbate minor maintenance problems. Municipalities, industrial facilities, and property managers are at risk of compliance violations and operational disruptions if stormwater systems are not properly maintained. The accumulation of pollutants like sediment, trash, and oils can also harm local waterways and ecosystems.
