Service Overview
Stormwater System Repair With Clear Answers Before Work Begins
A damaged or failing stormwater system puts your property at risk of flooding, erosion, sinkholes, and regulatory violations. The longer a drainage problem goes unaddressed, the more damage compounds — and the more expensive the repair becomes.
Lapin Services diagnoses and repairs stormwater systems for property owners, managers, and contractors across Orlando and Central Florida. From pipe failures and structural damage to collapsed inlets and failing outfalls — we find the problem, fix it correctly, and get your system back in compliance.
Problems We Solve
Common Stormwater System Repair Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Collapsed or Broken Drainage Pipes
Settlement, root intrusion, corrosion, or construction damage can crack or collapse stormwater pipes — causing backups, sinkholes, and drainage failures.
Failed Catch Basins or Inlets
Deteriorating concrete, broken grates, or structural failures in catch basins prevent proper stormwater capture and can create safety hazards on site.
Outfall Structure Damage
Erosion, root damage, or structural deterioration at outfall points can compromise stormwater discharge and trigger county or FDEP violations.
Joint Failures and Leaks
Failed pipe joints allow stormwater to escape into surrounding soil, causing erosion, subsidence, and potential contamination of nearby areas.
Sediment Blockage and Capacity Loss
Heavy sediment accumulation in pipes and structures reduces drainage capacity, leading to flooding during storm events and compliance failures.
When to Call
Signs Your Stormwater System Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these signs, call Lapin. We will find the cause and explain what needs to happen next.
Flooding After Rain Events
Water accumulating on your site during or after storms when it previously drained properly is a clear indicator of a system failure.
Sinkholes or Settlement Near Drains
Depressions or sinkholes forming near drainage structures signal pipe failures or joint leaks undermining the surrounding soil.
Visible Structural Damage
Cracked catch basins, broken grates, exposed or offset pipes, and damaged headwalls are signs the system needs immediate repair.
Compliance Notice or Failed Inspection
County or FDEP notices citing stormwater system deficiencies require prompt repair to avoid penalties and restore compliance status.
Erosion Around Drainage Structures
Washouts, exposed pipe bedding, or erosion channels near drains and outfalls indicate system failures that need professional repair.

FAQs
Stormwater System Repair FAQs
How do I know if my stormwater system needs repair vs. replacement?
A camera inspection and site assessment will determine the extent of damage. Localized failures are often repairable; widespread pipe deterioration or major structural failures may warrant full replacement.
Do stormwater repairs require permits in Orlando?
Significant structural repairs typically require permits. Lapin handles the permitting and inspection process when required.
Can you repair stormwater systems on commercial properties?
Yes. We repair stormwater systems on commercial sites, HOAs, industrial properties, and large-scale developments throughout Central Florida.
How quickly can you respond to a drainage emergency?
We’re available 24/7 for urgent situations. Contact us and we’ll prioritize your request based on the severity of the drainage failure.
Can you repair stormwater systems without full excavation?
In some cases, pipe lining or spot repair methods reduce excavation. We assess each situation and recommend the least disruptive effective solution.
What causes stormwater systems to fail?
Common causes include pipe age and corrosion, root intrusion, soil settlement, construction damage, joint failure, and heavy sediment accumulation over time.
Will repairs restore my system to compliance?
Yes. All repairs are performed to current code standards. We coordinate inspections to confirm compliance is restored and provide documentation for your records.
Do you service all of Central Florida?
Yes. We serve Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region including Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Lake counties.
