Storm Drain Sumps & Drains

The Purpose of Drains and Utilities

Storm drains and sumps are essential for collecting pavement runoff and preventing water from pooling on roads, sidewalks, and driveways. Their main function is to direct water away from hard surfaces and into a nearby water source like a river, lake, or ocean. Properly installed storm drains improve road safety and help protect your property from flooding during heavy rainfall. These systems are a vital part of all exterior drains and utilities.

How Water Impacts Pavement Longevity

One of the leading causes of pavement damage is water accumulation. When moisture remains on asphalt surfaces, it weakens the structure over time. Without proper drainage, asphalt deteriorates, leading to cracks, rutting, and potholes. In addition, long-term exposure to water reduces the material’s durability and lifespan.

Protecting Asphalt with Reliable Drainage

Eckles Paving offers asphalt maintenance services to repair areas impacted by water damage. However, installing drains and utilities during the initial construction phase helps prevent this kind of damage from occurring in the first place. A well-planned drainage system reduces risk and saves money on future repairs.

Storm Drain and Sump Installation Services

Installing storm drains requires precise placement and proper slope planning. In most cases, we either tie the new system into an existing drain network or create a dedicated sump field below grade. The goal is to direct water efficiently off the pavement and into the drainage system.
