Your Lake County neighbor
EnviroFlow USA is based in Eastlake, in Lake County, so Mentor is home territory for our crews. Mentor combines a major retail corridor along Mentor Avenue (U.S. Route 20) with a large manufacturing and industrial corridor along Tyler Boulevard, plus thousands of apartments, condos and HOA communities. Each of those property types has its own drainage to maintain.
Who handles what in Mentor
According to the City of Mentor, sanitary sewer service is provided by the Lake County Department of Utilities, which takes sewer backup reports 24/7 at 440-350-3431. Lake County's Stormwater Management Department can be reached at 440-350-2730. Catch basins, storm lines, retention ponds, sumps and separators on private property are the owner's responsibility, and that's where we come in.
Snow belt drainage
Mentor sits in the Lake Erie snow belt. Heavy lake-effect snow means heavy salting and sanding, and all of that grit ends up in catch basin sumps by March. Basins that aren't cleaned in spring pass sediment into storm lines and ponds through the summer, then clog with leaves in the fall. A spring and fall cleaning schedule is the simplest way to stay ahead of it.
What we do for Mentor properties
- Retail and office lots: catch basin and storm inlet cleaning, storm line jetting

We handle non-hazardous material only.
