Why We Check Sites After Major Storms, Not Just Before

Most maintenance conversations focus on getting ready before a storm.

Just as important: checking a site right after one.

That’s when you find out what actually happened. Where water moved, what shifted, what needs attention now.

No surprises. Just reliable stormwater.

Across Chapel Hill and the surrounding area, we’ve been prioritizing post-storm site visits this summer to catch changes early. A system can look fine going into a storm and still need attention coming out of it.
