Flotech Environmental provides specialized trench drain cleaning services for municipalities, utility authorities, general contractors, property managers, and engineering firms throughout Florida. Using high-pressure water jetting at up to 100 GPM and 3,000 PSI paired with high-capacity vacuum extraction, Flotech cleans trench drains, slot drains, and covered drainage channels beneath warehouse floors, parking decks, loading docks, and industrial slabs, restoring full hydraulic capacity without slab removal, saw-cutting, or excavation.
High-pressure water jetting is the primary cleaning method for trench drains and covered drainage channels. Flotech’s crews deploy variable-pressure jetting nozzles, including flushing, penetrating, and root-cutting heads, to break up hardened deposits, compacted sediment, FOG, biological growth, and root intrusion entering through joints and grate seams. Pressure and nozzle configuration are matched to trench drain material, typically polymer concrete, stainless steel, fiberglass, or cast iron, to clear obstructions without damaging the channel walls or grate frames.
Florida’s coastal sand, fine sediment, and high organic load drive accelerated trench drain buildup, particularly in warehouses, food processing facilities, loading docks, parking decks, and industrial wash bays. As obstructions are dislodged, Flotech’s vacuum trucks simultaneously extract loosened debris, sediment, and rinse water from the trench, leaving the system clean and immediately returned to service. The combined jet-and-vacuum process restores design hydraulic capacity and outlet flow without slab removal, saw-cutting, or excavation of the surrounding surface.
Here are some of the most common questions about our services, response times, and how we support infrastructure projects across Florida.
Over time, trench drains beneath slabs accumulate sediment, grease, and debris that reduce drainage capacity and can cause localized flooding or structural damage. Standard cleaning equipment cannot reach covered systems, so specialized jetting and vacuum trucks are required for effective trench cleaning.
Slab-covered trench cleaning is needed in commercial and industrial facilities, parking structures, loading docks, warehouses, municipal properties, and any property with drainage systems or trench drains running beneath concrete or pavement in Florida.
Yes. We can perform CCTV inspection of covered trench lines and drainage pipes after cleaning to document conditions, identify defects, and provide reporting for asset management and compliance purposes.
Cleaning frequency depends on the volume of traffic, stormwater runoff, and debris the system receives. Most commercial and industrial properties benefit from annual or semi-annual trench cleaning to maintain flow capacity and prevent blockages.
Flotech performs high-pressure water jetting to clear blockages and restore design flow in trench drains, slot drains, and covered drainage channels. Our crews use variable-pressure nozzles and reduced-diameter hose systems to access trench drains, break up compacted sediment, FOG, scale, and root intrusion, and restore full hydraulic capacity through the channel and outlet. Service is provided throughout Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando, with crews dispatched from regional offices across Florida.
As jetting breaks up blockages, Flotech’s vacuum trucks simultaneously remove sediment, organic debris, and rinse water from the trench, leaving the system clean and immediately returned to service. This combined jet-and-vacuum process eliminates the need for slab removal, saw-cutting, or excavation, and safely contains all debris for proper disposal without affecting surrounding surfaces or storm inlets.
Flotech cleans pipes, catch basins, and drainage structures beneath concrete slabs, driveways, loading docks, parking decks, and other covered surfaces. Applications include warehouse floor drains, industrial trenches, grease interceptors, parking deck systems, and municipal drainage accessed through cleanouts, vaults, or grates. Services are provided to industrial facilities, commercial properties, HOAs, and municipalities across Florida.
After cleaning, Flotech performs CCTV inspection of trench drains, piping, and connected structures to verify cleaning effectiveness, document defects, locate damaged sections or joint issues, and support asset management and compliance reporting. Inspection data is delivered in standard formats compatible with WinCan, Granite, POSM, and GIS-based systems.
Flotech combines proven statewide experience, specialized equipment, and non-destructive cleaning methods to deliver reliable trench drain services across Florida.
