Stormwater Management

Properly managing stormwater is essential for property protection. Stormwater can flood your lawn, streets and driveway when ignored, creating landscaping and road hazards. CMI Paving has solutions for stormwater mitigation in the Central Pennsylvania area.

Best Ways to Divert Stormwater from Asphalt Driveways

 

Because every driveway is different, here are some of the significant signs your driveway could be experiencing poor drainage:

 

  • Discoloration: Standing stormwater can create large, dark spots on the asphalt and even dull your driveway’s appearance. 
  • Eroding: Too much water without proper drainage can break down and crumble your driveway, usually along the edges and near the road.
  • Cracking: Water can be heavy on your driveway’s top, causing hairline cracks or full splits across the whole thing.
  •  

There are a few ways to divert stormwater from asphalt driveways. While some dig trenches, others go a different route to plant trees or install a drainage system for stormwater mitigation. The options are endless, and the primary goal is to prevent structural damage from standing water.

 

Our Stormwater Management Services for Pennsylvania Homeowners

 

CMI Paving provides residential stormwater management systems, creating drainage solutions for driveways. We tailor our solutions to meet your home’s exact needs with services such as:

 

  • Paving: We are experts in paving solutions for your driveway. Asphalt is recommended for stormwater management, as its porous surface can drain water more naturally than other solutions.
  • Drainage systems: CMI Paving is also proficient in rainfall and runoff management. Our experts can install a catch basin — an underground drainage system positioned at the low point in your driveway to collect any water that pools.
  • Drainage grading: We can repair or install a driveway with a slope to optimize the water flow around your driveway. A proper slope can prevent standing water and further damage.

Stormwater Drainage and Runoff Solutions for Local Commercial Areas

 

Parking lots experience a lot of traffic, and standing water can cause hazards for patrons. Excessive water can also divert customers from shopping or visiting certain areas, drawing away business.

 

In addition to residential stormwater maintenance, we help commercial areas with their parking lot drainage solutions. Like driveways, parking lots can use stormwater runoff management to maintain structural integrity.

 

Specifically, CMI Paving can provide paving and repair for the general wear and tear of parking lots. Our team can inspect the area, find the issue and create solutions, such as adding a slight slope or repaving the lot.
