Storm drains and catch basins fill quietly with silt, leaves, and debris until a heavy rain shows exactly where the water can no longer go. In Chula Vista, CA, that often means pooling in a parking area, water backing up at a curb inlet, or a low spot that never used to flood.
Keep the immediate area clear of debris and avoid standing water where a drain has backed up, since it can hide an open grate or a collapsed section. Stop and call if flooding repeats after every rain, water backs up toward a building, or a catch basin has visibly settled or cracked.
A camera inspection can show whether the line is silted, root blocked, or collapsed before any work starts.
