WHY REGULAR CULVERT MAINENANCE MATTERS

CULVERTS play a crucial role in managing water flow beneath roadways, driveways, railways and other infrastructure. When functioning properly, they prevent flooding, control erosion, and help maintain the swale & drainage systems. Over time, culverts can accumulate debris, sediment and other obstructions that can reduce their capacity and potentially lead to flooding or damage. CULVERT CLEANING IS NOT ONLY IMPORTANT BUT ESSENTIAL TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY & INVESTMENT!

Blockages in culverts can cause water to back up and potentially flood driveways. If your home is 5 years or older we recommend a culvert service or free inspection report. Some areas and culverts will fill with debris faster than other areas. It is recommended to maintain your culvert at 20% or less of debris to allow proper water flow. 

Regular Cleaning ensures that culverts can effectively drain water and prevent water from accumulating, as water passes through the swale and ultimately to the city storm drains. Localized flooding can be prevented and reduced by regular culvert cleaning and keeping debris from accumulating. 

Cleaning your culvert helps prevent the build-up of debris that can damage the culvert. Extend the lifespan of the culvert and surrounding property. Water that accumulates will overflow into the nearest roadway, driveway and even into your home. This can cause safety issues for other drivers and the public. Not only for hurricane preparedness but during regular rain events the water needs to flow properly for the system to function as intended.
