Keeping Detention Ponds Working | Upstate SC

Stormwater ponds and detention basins only work when the outlet, banks and inflow pipes are in good shape. We clear trees and brush off dams and spillways, open up clogged outlets, install and grout skimmers, rebuild washed-out banks, armor outlets and swales with riprap, and replace failing culverts and storm pipe. Recent work includes a pond rehab in Gray Court, pond and pipe outlet riprap at an RV park in Greer, channel repair in Belton, and an 80-foot box culvert in Spartanburg County.

Signs your pond needs work

Watch for trees or brush on the dam or spillway, debris in the inlet or outlet pipes, water sitting higher or longer than it should after a rain, bare or sloughing slopes, and a missing or clogged skimmer. In Greenville County, the HOA or commercial property owner is responsible for keeping the pond working. Read more in signs your stormwater pond needs repair.

What affects the cost of stormwater pond repair?

The condition of the outlet and skimmer, how much brush and how many trees are on the dam and slopes, how much bank or spillway needs to be rebuilt, the amount of riprap, and access for equipment around the pond.

Who is responsible for maintaining a detention pond?

In Greenville County, the HOA or commercial property owner is responsible for keeping the pond working under its maintenance agreement, and the County inspects maintenance. Other Upstate counties have similar rules.
