About Our Stormwater BMP Repair & Reconstruction Service
Stormwater BMP (best management practice) repair and reconstruction is the work of correcting a stormwater device that has failed or worn down, and rebuilding it so it meets its requirements again.
A BMP (best management practice) is a pond, basin, swale, or other structure built to manage runoff. These devices wear over time. Banks slump, outlets erode, pipes crack, and sediment fills the areas meant to hold water. When an inspection or a notice identifies a problem, the property needs a plan for compliance repairs.
Dragonfly Pond Works is certified to inspect, repair, install, and reconstruct all types of stormwater devices. We assess the damage, explain what caused it, and carry out the repair or reconstruction with our own crews.
We prioritize compliance, because a repaired device has to do more than look better. It has to work the way the rules require.
Key Benefits of Stormwater BMP Repair & Reconstruction
Back Into Compliance
BMP repair returns the device to the condition its permit requires, so the property is back in good standing.
A Fix for the Cause
We look past the visible damage to what caused it, so the same problem is less likely to return.
Restored Capacity
Rebuilding slumped banks and clearing filled areas lets the device hold and treat the water it was designed for.
One Team for the Whole Job
Our own crews perform the vast majority of our work, from assessment through reconstruction.
Documented From Start to Finish
A detailed photo report records the condition before, during, and after the work for inspectors and owners.
Protection for the Property
A working device protects buildings, roads, and landscaping from flooding and erosion, and keeps the site presentable for residents, visitors, and community members.

How It Works
Assess the Damage
We inspect the device, identify what has failed, and look for the cause behind it.
Define the Correction
We outline what the work involves and explain the options, including what each one addresses.
Plan the Work
We schedule the work around the property, access needs, and any requirements tied to the site.
Carry Out the Repair
Our crews complete the repair or reconstruction and keep the site secure while work is underway.
Verify and Report
We confirm the device is working and provide a detailed photo report of the finished work.
Why Stormwater BMP Repair & Reconstruction is Important
A stormwater device that has failed is still the property's responsibility. It still has to manage runoff, and it still has to meet the requirements that apply to the site.
Repairs tend to grow more expensive the longer they wait. Erosion at an outlet can undermine a bank, and a blocked pipe can put pressure on the whole system. Correcting the problem early protects the device and the property around it.
Stormwater BMP Repair & Reconstruction FAQs
Answers to our most common questions about this service. If you have a different question not answered here, get in touch.
Common signs include standing water where it should drain, eroded banks, cracked or blocked outlets, and a notice from an inspector. A BMP inspection confirms what needs attention.
Yes. We work on stormwater devices regardless of who built them. We review the original design where it is available and restore the device to meet its requirements.
A repair fixes a specific part, such as an outlet or a bank. Reconstruction rebuilds a larger portion of the device when the damage is too widespread to patch.
We plan access, staging, and timing around how the site is used and keep work areas secure. We talk through any disruption before work begins.
Yes. We handle compliance repairs for municipalities, facility managers, commercial properties, and HOAs.
It depends on the device, the extent of the damage, and site conditions. We give you a clear schedule before work begins.
