The Importance of Catch Basin Repairs

Catch basins (also known as storm drains) are an often overlooked part of Cleveland’s infrastructure. They are usually located within a curb and are a vital part of flood control, allowing water to quickly drain from the streets. Without proper drainage, ice builds up during the bitter Northeast Ohio winter months causing potential pedestrian slipping liability hazards and heaving of your asphalt as the temperatures rise and fall. Catch basins provide an essential purpose on all commercial parking lots. When properly installed, they allow water to flow off of the asphalt pavement. Without proper drainage, ice builds up during the bitter Cleveland winter months causing potential pedestrian slipping liability hazards and heaving of your asphalt as the temperatures rise and fall. During the Ohio spring, summer, and fall months it causes puddles and potential damage to the asphalt as water seeps through the cracks into the sub-base instead of flowing to the catch basins. In addition, the water puddles hide deeper potholes and provide the potential for additional pedestrian tripping and slipping liability hazards. These are serious problems for all Ohio businesses and must be both prevented and addressed immediately. Throughout the year, catch basins get wear and tear from both water flow erosion and constant vehicle traffic. As a result, it is essential to inspect catch basins every spring. Our expert asphalt paving contractors will check to see if there is any cracking around the perimeter of the catch basins or sinking around the catch basins. If there is sinking or cracking around the catch basins and puddles in your parking lot, then you need to have these conditions repaired immediately.
