Concrete or asphalt surfaces are known to be extremely durable. However, the outdoor elements that these materials are subjected to on a regular basis, whether it’s a parking lot, driveway or sidewalk, can take their toll. Over time, repair or a replacement of the surfaces is going to be required. However, the aging process can be sped up by subjecting asphalt or concrete to excessive amounts of water, beyond what is normal from rainstorms, snow or ice storms over the winter. To avoid prematurely repairing or replacing these surfaces, water drainage repair in Branford, CT may be needed.
Even a small amount of standing water on an asphalt or concrete surface can do a great deal of long-term damage. Extended periods of time where standing water covers an asphalt or concrete surface can lead to premature aging that may require extensive repairs or, in excessive situations, may require the surfaces to be removed and replaced. To avoid all of this, sometimes simple repairs or improvements to an existing water drainage system may be in order.
Often times, a company like Atwater Paving, which is commonly known for the paving of concrete and asphalt surfaces, can also provide evaluations and repairs for water drainage features. What will happen in these situations is that a drainage expert can inspect an existing drainage feature to see if it is functioning properly. Sometimes clearing out access to the drain or clearing out blockages in the actual drain pipe is all that is needed. However, there are times where the drainage pipe is broken. In these instances, a new pipe will need to be installed.
There are also issues where the existing drain system doesn’t need water drainage repair in Branford, CT. In some cases, the system simply needs to be expanded in order to handle proper drainage. This helps the water to drain quicker, and this can prevent standing water that can shorten the life of paved surfaces.
If your home or business is having an issue with water drainage, it may be time to do something about it. Whether it’s a simple repair, a more detailed repair or it’s expanding the existing drainage system, this sort of attention to the drainage system can save you a great deal of time, hassle, and money.
