Passing Kirkland and Redmond stormwater inspections takes more than clean gutters. Our compliance managers prepare permit packets, rehearse onsite talking points, and stage every system component for review. Use these visuals and tools to match our proven process.
Before inspection day
Confirm the inspection date with city staff and ensure Rainwise paperwork is complete. Store digital copies in a shared folder and print hard copies for your inspector. Review downspout routing and verify gutters are directing water into approved systems.
Day-of checklist
- Clear access paths to cisterns, drainage basins, and cleanouts.
- Verify overflow pipes discharge into infiltration areas documented in the Rainwise plan.
- Have photos and receipts ready to demonstrate gutter upgrades and cistern installs.
