Stormwater & Sewer Infrastructure Services in South Carolina
Stormwater and sewer systems across South Carolina are aging, overloaded, and increasingly stressed by development, high rainfall, and soil conditions that accelerate failures. When pipes collapse, drains back up, water mains break, or pumping systems malfunction, the result is flooding, service interruptions, safety hazards, and expensive emergency repairs.
Ecological Improvements provides repair, replacement, installation, and troubleshooting for stormwater and sewer infrastructure serving HOAs, golf courses, commercial properties, municipalities, and large private communities across South Carolina. We deliver clear assessments, accurate estimates, and dependable construction designed to protect your property and maintain safe, reliable water movement.
Why Stormwater & Sewer Infrastructure Fails in South Carolina
Heavy rainfall and storm events overwhelm older systems
Sandy and unstable soils cause pipe settlement and separation
Aging HOA systems were never designed for today’s development loads
Tree roots infiltrate aging sewer lines
Outdated materials deteriorate faster in SC’s climate
Groundwater tables fluctuate and weaken bedding support
Poor or infrequent maintenance leads to structural collapse
These issues lead to:
Flooded roads, yards, and common areas
Backups into storm drains or sewer systems
Loss of potable water during water main break
Erosion around pipe outlets and outfalls
Sinkholes forming around pipe failures
Costly repairs and emergency mobilizations
MS4 and environmental compliance violations

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Sinkholes, soft ground, backups, low water pressure, constant wet areas, or flooding around drains are common indicators.
-
Yes. Water escaping under pressure can wash out soil rapidly, creating dangerous voids and slope failures.
-
Most repairs take 1–3 days depending on depth, access, utilities, and material requirements.
-
Responsibility depends on ownership. We help identify ownership and provide documentation.
-
Yes. We provide inspection, diagnosis, repair, and replacement for stormwater, potable water, and sanitary pumps.
