There is little worse than poor drainage at a home or business. From rain to snow and ice runoff, it’s easy for large puddles to accumulate quickly. This goes beyond inconvenience, impacting parking lot drainage, reducing usable space, and forcing customers, tenants, or employees to walk through water. In time standing water can damage pavement leading to costly repairs.

The solution is often professionally installed culverts.

A culvert is an enclosed drainage structure that runs under a road, driveway, or land area. For proper function, the culvert must be installed at the correct elevation and matched to the water flow demands.

Not all culverts are created equal—materials, size, and design vary depending on site conditions and long-term durability needs. Culverts are commonly installed using 12” diameter ADS pipe, though some municipalities require 15” pipes to meet local regulations.                                                                     

Installation costs can vary based on these factors, but choosing the right solution upfront helps prevent future drainage issues.
