Culvert Replacement
Digging out rusted or crushed culverts and setting new ones at the right depth and grade.
Wet basement, flooded yard, driveway washing out at the road? Most of it comes down to water with nowhere to go. We find the problem and fix it properly — culverts, French drains, swales and ditches.
Digging out rusted or crushed culverts and setting new ones at the right depth and grade.
Rebuilding entrances over new culverts so they drain and carry traffic.
Perforated pipe in clear stone to carry groundwater away from foundations and wet areas.
Shaping and cleaning ditches and grass swales so surface water flows off the property.
Running buried lines to get roof and sump water well away from the house.
Regrading low spots that hold water after every rain.
We start by looking at the property after a rain if we can — where the water sits tells us most of what we need to know. We check ditch depths, culvert inverts and the slope of the land before recommending anything.
For a culvert, we dig out the old pipe, bed the new one in granular at the right grade, backfill with crushed stone and rebuild the entrance. For yard drainage, we pick the simplest fix that works: regrading first, a drain only where it's needed.
We're an owner-operated crew: we walk every site before we price it, show up when we say we will, and leave it graded out clean.
Common signs: the driveway entrance sinks or cracks, water backs up in the ditch on one side, or you can see rust holes or a crushed end on the pipe. Steel culverts often last 20–30 years before they rust through.
Often, yes — culverts sit in the municipal road allowance, so most townships want to approve the size and placement. We'll tell you what your municipality requires and can help with the paperwork.
A swale is a shallow grassed channel that moves surface water. A French drain is a buried perforated pipe in stone that collects water from the ground. Many yards need one or the other, some need both.
