Stormwater Inspection by a Certified Engineer

PS Pond Inspections is a staff of local engineering professionals devoted to stewarding your stormwater control measures and making sure you are compliant with all local regulations.

We are Stormwater BMP Inspection and Maintenance certified and have years of experience completing annual, quarterly and/or monthly stormwater maintenance inspections for all types of stormwater control measures (SCM’s) and best management practices (BMP’s). We also can support your staff or landscapers by providing valuable BMP training to maintain your features. Should your SCM fail we can also provide Engineering Design Modifications to bring it up to the required standards.

The Importance of Quality Inspection and Maintenance

Minimizes costly repairs
- Like routine maintenance on a car, keeping up with your SCM can prevent small fixes from becoming big expensive problems later on. Just like a good mechanic, a thorough stormwater inspector is worth his or her weight in gold.
Keeping your neighborhood clean
- SCMs and BMPs play an important role in making sure this beautiful state we live in stays that way. It also impacts the water quality of our local streams, lakes and potential drinking water.
It’s required by law.
- Annual inspections of SCMs and BMPs are now required in North Carolina and enforced in many municipalities across the Triangle (NC DEQ).

"As a stormwater nerd, I would love nothing more than to help make your stormwater device everything you dreamed it could be and more."

This is what happens when you ignore small problems. They become really big expensive problems.

What an SCM should look like. Make stormwater an amenity rather than tucking it in the corner. It can be so beautiful.

That's not where that goes.

Found this awesome box turtle at an SCM inspection. Isn't it amazing how tightly they can close up.
