StormTrap

What StormTrap does

StormTrap is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of modular precast concrete stormwater management systems, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Romeoville, Illinois, with 101-250 employees. The company's core products are the SingleTrap and DoubleTrap underground chamber systems, which provide detention (controlling runoff volume and discharge timing), infiltration (groundwater recharge), rainwater harvesting, and treatment functions for commercial, residential, institutional, government, industrial, medical, transportation, and wastewater end markets. A separate treatment product line — StormSettler (the first hydrodynamic separator using tube settling packs and upflow patterns), SiteSaver (inclined plate and baffle-based separator), TrashTrap (three-dimensional netting), and PumpGuard (pre-screening net device) — targets pollutant, sediment, hydrocarbon, and trash capture, with multiple state-level certifications (NJDEP, NJCAT, California State Water Board, Wisconsin DNR, STEPP/ASTM 3332) creating regulatory barriers to entry. The DesignLab cloud platform lets engineers self-generate project drawings and specifications, reducing friction in the specification process.

StormTrap operates a hybrid go-to-market: a direct enterprise field sales force of 30+ named Territory Managers, Regional Managers, and P.E.-credentialed Sales Engineers covering five U.S. regions (West, Midwest, South Central, Northeast, Southeast) plus Ontario and Western Canada, layered with a nationwide network of more than a dozen precast concrete manufacturing partners (Utility Concrete Products, Lindsay Precast, United Concrete Products, A.C. Miller, Wieser, H2 Pre-Cast, Olson Precast, MidStates, Summit, Faddis, Scituate, Gainey's, and others) that produce and install StormTrap products regionally. International presence is built through channel partners — Humes in Australia and New Zealand, and Fixus in Malaysia and Singapore — supplemented by direct Canadian representation. Revenue is generated primarily from hardware sales of precast concrete chamber systems and treatment devices (project-based, custom-quoted), with ancillary professional services revenue from engineering design, regulatory approval support, and ongoing net replacement and maintenance services for treatment products. Recent 2024-2025 strategic activity — including the July 2025 acquisition of Faircloth Skimmer, the June 2025 opening of a Northeast regional office in Amesbury, MA, a February 2025 R&D partnership with Northwestern University, and continued regulatory approvals in new states — indicates the company is in an active growth and product-line expansion phase.

Revenue model

1. Stormwater Management Products (Hardware): Sale of modular precast concrete stormwater management systems including SingleTrap, DoubleTrap chambers and treatment products (SiteSaver, StormSettler, TrashTrap, PumpGuard). Products are sold as capital equipment for construction projects. Pricing is project-specific based on system size, configuration, and loading requirements.
2. Engineering Design and Technical Support Services: Professional services including custom system design, engineering support, regulatory compliance consultation, and approval process navigation. StormTrap provides local expertise understanding municipality requirements and collaborates with governing bodies for approvals.
3. Net Replacement and Maintenance Services: Ongoing maintenance services including disposable net replacement for treatment products. Nets provide debris capture and require periodic replacement based on trash concentration and weather events. Standard nets rated for 500+ pounds or 25 cf of captured pollutants.

Core offering

StormTrap designs, engineers, and sells modular precast concrete underground stormwater management systems for detention, infiltration, treatment, and rainwater harvesting applications. The product portfolio includes SingleTrap and DoubleTrap modular chamber systems for stormwater storage plus treatment products (SiteSaver, StormSettler, TrashTrap, PumpGuard) that remove pollutants such as trash, sediment, hydrocarbons, and floatables. The company also provides engineering design support, regulatory compliance guidance, a cloud-based DesignLab specification tool, and ongoing net replacement services to engineers, developers, municipalities, and contractors.

Product overview

StormTrap offers a comprehensive portfolio of underground precast concrete stormwater management products organized into detention/infiltration systems (SingleTrap and DoubleTrap) and treatment products (StormSettler, SiteSaver, TrashTrap, and PumpGuard). The SingleTrap and DoubleTrap serve as the core modular precast concrete platforms for stormwater detention, infiltration, and rainwater harvesting, while treatment products provide hydrodynamic separation, sedimentation, trash capture, and oil/water separation capabilities. Net replacement services support ongoing maintenance of treatment products. The company positions itself as an end-to-end partner providing design tools (DesignLab), engineering support, and installation assistance throughout the project lifecycle.

Products and services

• SingleTrap A flexible, modular precast concrete stormwater detention and infiltration system with internal heights ranging from 1'-1" to 7'-6", designed to exceed HS-20 loading with minimum 6" cover. The system accommodates extreme loading situations including Cooper E-80 and aircraft loading, and its modular construction accommodates existing utilities, light pole foundations, and trees. Targeted at engineers, developers, municipalities, and contractors specifying underground stormwater systems for commercial, residential, industrial, and transportation projects.
• DoubleTrap A depth-optimized precast concrete chamber system with internal heights ranging from 2'-2" to 15'-0" that minimizes footprint and reduces excavation and project costs. Pairs with detention, infiltration, and treatment applications, offers extreme loading options, and promotes infiltration through precast base openings. Targeted at projects with significant depth constraints and developers seeking to reduce excavation costs.
• SiteSaver A hydrodynamic separator utilizing trash containment devices, inclined plate technology, and baffles to capture and remove trash, debris, floatables, hydrocarbons, and sediment from stormwater.
