This drainage inspection checklist allows you to carefully evaluate key drainage components, like pipes, catch basins, and flow paths, so you can spot blockages early and plan the right maintenance steps. What makes it stand out is its blend of structural checks and practical maintenance notes, giving you a clear path from inspection to repair.

Water damage is no small risk. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, about 1 in 60 insured homes files a property damage claim each year due to water damage or freezing.
To prevent that, the checklist guides you through problem areas with simple yes/no responses, ensuring accountability and making sure no critical components are overlooked during inspections.

Frequently asked questions

What documentation should I include with my completed drainage inspection checklist?

Beyond the checklist itself, include photos of problem areas with clear location references. Note weather conditions during inspection and recent precipitation history. Document any measurements taken (water depth, erosion extent) and include a site map marking inspection points. This supporting documentation proves invaluable when planning repairs or demonstrating inspection diligence.

How can I use this drainage inspection checklist to improve our preventative maintenance program?

Use the maintenance section to schedule regular cleaning of problem areas identified during inspection. Track recurring issues across multiple inspections to identify systemic problems requiring redesign rather than repeated maintenance. Share inspection results with your maintenance team to help them understand drainage system vulnerabilities and focus their regular activities on critical areas.

What equipment should I have when conducting a drainage inspection with this checklist?

Carry a flashlight, measuring tape, camera, and probe rod for checking sediment depths. Bring safety equipment including gloves and eye protection when opening access points. A small mirror on an extendable handle helps inspect pipes without confined space entry. Consider a moisture meter for checking surrounding soil conditions. This equipment helps you gather detailed information beyond simple visual observations.

What weather conditions are best for conducting accurate drainage inspections?

Conduct inspections during both dry and wet conditions for comprehensive understanding. Dry weather inspections reveal structural issues and accumulated debris, while wet weather (during or shortly after rain) shows actual water flow patterns and identifies functional problems. Avoid inspections during freezing conditions when ice may hide issues. Document weather conditions with each inspection to provide context for your observations.
