Houston is no stranger to heavy rain, flash flooding, and saturated job sites. And now that wet season is officially here, it’s time to ask a critical question: Is your site stormwater-ready?

At RL Siteworx, we’ve spent over 40 years helping Houston-area developers, general contractors, and municipalities manage, control, and direct stormwater before it becomes a problem. Because in this city, if your drainage plan isn’t dialed in, your entire project is at risk.

Why It Matters Right Now

Wet weather doesn’t just delay work — it can damage foundations, erode earthwork, flood open excavations, and cost you days, or even weeks, in lost productivity. That’s why planning for stormwater management before a single shovel hits the ground is essential.

And if your site is already in motion? It's not too late. Upgrading detention systems, clearing drainage paths, or installing new inlets can help you stay ahead of compliance and minimize risk.

RL Siteworx Stormwater Services: Built for Houston

Here’s how we help you prepare for — and work through — Houston’s wettest months:

Storm Sewer Installation

From shallow trenching to deep tie-ins, we install durable, code-compliant systems that move water where it needs to go — and fast.

Stormwater Inlets & Outfalls

We install inlets and outfalls that keep your site draining properly, reduce pooling, and avoid localized flooding that can shut down activity zones.

SWQU (Stormwater Quality Units)

Meeting Houston’s strict environmental and filtration requirements? We’ve got it covered with high-performance SWQUs installed by experts.

Underground Detention Systems

Above-ground ponds don’t always work for urban or tight-footprint projects. We install below-grade systems that save space and manage runoff without compromising design.

What’s at Stake if You Wait
  • Missed inspections or failed permits
  • Erosion or collapse of excavation zones
  • Foundation delays due to waterlogged soil
  • Risk of citations for non-compliance with city water codes

Your stormwater plan isn’t just a line item — it’s mission critical to staying on budget and ahead of schedule.

Let’s Keep Your Project Flowing

Whether you’re starting a new site or troubleshooting one mid-project, RL Siteworx brings proven solutions and trusted crews that understand Houston’s unique water challenges — because we live them every season.

Don’t wait until the flash flood warning.
