Modern paved surfaces are created with slopes and drains, helping to collect water, shuttle it away from travel zones, and drain it into storm drains \u2014 also called \u201ccatch basins\u201d \u2014 through large grates. This keeps pavements clear of water-related obstructions and their appearances in tip-top shape.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2243&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve ever wondered what catch basins are, how they work, and how they impact parking lot pavements, you\u2019re in luck. Read on for a quick guide to catch basins\u2019 role and importance in preserving and <a href=\"https:\/\/nvmpaving.com\/asphalt-repair-maintenance\/\">maintaining your paved surfaces<\/a>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2241&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is a Catch Basin?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A catch basin or storm drain can typically be found along a road or parking lot curb to help redirect water and control runoff from heavy rains. The basins often empty into your city\u2019s drainage system, keeping water from pooling on asphalt pavements and avoiding potentially hazardous conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the pitfalls of improper drainage include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flooding during heavy rains or snow melt<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ice buildup during cold months<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsafe walking or driving conditions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cracking or potholing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other signs and symptoms of erosion<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catch basins are planned and built into the framework of new paved surfaces, including sloping to direct the water flow toward drains and proper underground drainage to move liquids away from the pavement. They can also be built into curbs, or created alongside paved surfaces and covered with grates to ensure pedestrian and vehicle safety. No one wants to fall into a big, concrete hole filled with water, after all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your expert paving partner should determine the type of catch basin used in your business&#8217; paved surfaces. The most important thing is that proper drainage is installed and that it continues to work at its best to keep your paved surfaces safe. That\u2019s where proper maintenance comes in.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Happens When Your Catch Basin Requires Repairs?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catch basins that are not working properly showcase that inefficiency in several ways, including visible standing water and ice buildups. Several culprits could be behind this improper functioning, including factors as simple as dead leaves or other debris clogging the drain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s imperative that you call your trusted paving partner the moment you notice a catch basin is not working at its best. As with most things, catching warning signs early ensures that you can fix relatively small problems before they become massive issues, thereby reducing the need for extensive \u2014 and expensive \u2014 future repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have your paving team regularly come out and inspect your catch basins to ensure optimal function when you need it most. This will help your company avoid parking lot flooding during the first spring rains or ice buildup when the snows start to fall, for example. It will also ensure that your firm provides a safe, walkable, and drivable surface for all its employees and customers.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2242&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call an Expert Paver to Answer Your Drainage Catch Basin Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are interested in learning more about catch basins and how they can create a <a href=\"https:\/\/nvmpaving.com\/asphalt-parking-lot-repair-services\/\">positive impact on your parking lot<\/a> or other paved surfaces, give your local paving expert a call.
