Residential Surface Water Management Solutions

As new construction or changes to existing construction are made to residential landscapes, the introduction of paved surfaces and sloped garden beds can drastically alter the natural system and increase the amount of surface water runoff. When surface water runoff is in excess and cannot be absorbed by the soil, it travels over rooftops, land, pavement and other impervious surfaces and picks up any pollutants in its path including oil, grease, chemicals, metals, and bacteria. Left untreated, this surface water runoff will travel through gutters and pipes and will ultimately make its way into lakes and streams, still carrying the contaminants.

Untreated surface water runoff from residential properties is a major concern to state and federal agencies, as it can result in the flooding of residential and non-residential properties downstream, the erosion of stream banks, and the addition of pollutants to water sources. To avoid these adverse impacts to our property and the environment, federal, state, and local laws and regulations require that surface water be managed by residential homeowners and property managers.

At American Structure Repair our advancements in surface water management can now provide business and homeowners with solutions to capture surface water and divert the water that would otherwise intrude into crawl spaces, basements and garages into city coves and gutters.

 

 

Components of our residential surface water systems include channels  for hardscapes, catch basins and grates for downspouts and low spots in the landscape, and pop-up emitters to discharge excess water as mandated by local regulations.

 

 

                              

This residency flooded as a result of excess surface water runoff, causing damage to the property and a deterioration of the landscape. Installation of a channel drain as part of a surface water management system prevents damage to the house and landscape from excess water.
