Why this matters

The report is the part the auditor reads.

Post-construction stormwater inspections are how your MS4 (the City of San Antonio or Bexar County, depending on where the property sits) and your HOA board confirm the basins, filters, and conveyance you built ten years ago still work the way the design drawing said they would. The inspection itself is half of compliance. The documentation is the other half, and the part that gets people written up.

A photo-documented 40-point field inspection of every stormwater control on your property (inlets, swales, junction boxes, basins, outfalls, treatment vaults, and filters), delivered as an MS4-ready PDF the same day we walk the site.

Our 40-point inspection is a structured field walk of every stormwater control on the property: storm inlets, conveyance swales, junction boxes, detention and retention basins, outfall structures, energy dissipators, water-quality vaults, and cartridge or media filters. Each of the 40 points has a pass/fail rating, a severity grade (cosmetic, functional, immediate), a written observation, and at least one photograph stamped with timestamp and GPS coordinates. The checklist mirrors what a City of San Antonio, Bexar County, or SAWS inspector opens to when they walk your site: the same fields, in the same order, with the same evidence attached.

The same report does two jobs that usually take two different vendors. It satisfies Bexar County quarterly maintenance reporting and annual permit renewal, City of San Antonio MS4 program audits, HOA recordkeeping, TCEQ Edwards Aquifer reporting where the site sits over the recharge zone, and pre-acquisition due diligence on the documentation side. On the operations side, it gives your property manager or facilities lead a triaged repair list (what to fix this week, what to budget for next quarter, what can wait until the dry season), with cost ranges already attached. The same PDF that defends you in front of the city is the one that hands a clean scope to your maintenance contractor.

Inspectors hold CISEC and CESSWI credentials and have walked the basin and BMP types built across San Antonio, Boerne, Seguin, and New Braunfels for the last fifteen years. They know when a riser is starting to undercut versus when it has already failed, when a hooded inlet is plugged versus designed shallow, when sediment in a forebay is normal accumulation versus a sign the upstream slope is moving. That difference is what keeps a routine inspection from turning into a six-figure surprise during a buyer's due-diligence walk.

Our process

How a 40-point stormwater inspection runs from scheduling call to PDF in your inbox.

  1. Step 01

    Schedule

    Pick a two-hour window; we coordinate site access, gate codes, and any tenant notice your property manager needs.

  2. Step 02

    Walk site

    One inspector covers the full site with a tablet, GPS camera, and drone when access is tight or the basin is full. Two to four hours on most properties.

  3. Step 03

    Same-day report

    Findings, photos, GPS coordinates, and pass/fail grades compiled into a PDF formatted for your MS4's filing, before the inspector clocks out.

  4. Step 04

    Triage

    Anything graded immediate gets a phone call the same afternoon and a written repair quote inside 48 hours. Routine items go onto your maintenance calendar.

Common questions

What Texas owners ask before booking a stormwater inspection.

Perimeter controls, inlet protection, the basin and its forebay, outlet structures, outfalls, stabilized construction exits, concrete washout, material and waste storage, and every disturbed slope on the site. Each point gets a pass, a fail, or not applicable. Every fail gets a photo with GPS and a timestamp.

Same day. The inspector fills the checklist on a tablet while walking your site, and the PDF is in your inbox before the truck leaves the property. Nothing gets written up from memory back at an office three days later.

Yes, and roughly half our inspection work is on plans we didn't write. If the plan doesn't match what's on the ground, you get that in writing with the report so you can decide whether to amend it before an inspector notices the same thing.

It depends on who your MS4 is, not on a single statewide rule. This is the thing people get wrong most often. TCEQ's Construction General Permit governs the job site while it is being built; once the site is stabilized, the inspection and reporting schedule comes from your city or county program. In unincorporated Bexar County that is quarterly maintenance reports and an annual post-construction permit renewal. Inside the City of San Antonio it runs off your recorded maintenance agreement. Over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone TCEQ has its own annual obligation on top. We read the original approval for your site and tell you which of those you are actually in.

Anything graded immediate gets a phone call the same afternoon, before the PDF lands, and a written repair quote inside 48 hours. Active discharge offsite gets a crew mobilized the same day. We do the repair work in house, so you are not waiting on us to find you a contractor.

That is half of why people order one. Buyers' environmental consultants and lenders both ask for the stormwater maintenance record, and a gap in it turns into a holdback or a retrade. The report is dated, photographed, GPS-stamped, and reads the same to a lender as it does to a city inspector. We have had a few clients order one purely to have the file clean before going to market.
