SURE SEAL MAINTENANCE PAVEMENT INC. Title: Drainage Solutions for Parking Lots
Add Curbing • Curbs can improve the aesthetics of your parking lot and act as a small concrete or asphalt fence between the street and the parking lot. • Curbs also help to create a safer and more effective parking layout on your property.
Correct the Parking Lot Slope • If the property already has a slope but water continues to accumulate, the slope may need to be adjusted or paced in the other direction. • The surrounding area of the property may require restructuring work to ensure the runoff of water does not harm or create new water problems at the bottom of the slope.
Install Runoff Drains and Trenches • Drains and trenches are key to prevent pooling along the sides and within dips of the commercial lot. • Larger properties require several drains to be purposefully placed throughout the property and for side trenches to be installed to protect the nearby property. • Allowing the flow of water to gather onto grass or direct surfaces may cause further problems. Catch basins can improve drainage while prevent freestanding water pockets.
Limit Heavy Vehicles • Where possible, limit the use of the property to weighted vehicles such as commercial machinery or heavy trucks. For most commercial businesses, this may not be an option due to the nature of the business. • Taking the steps to limit heavy equipment will not only protect the overall appearance of the lot but also prolong the life of the pavement.
Schedule Regular Parking Lot Maintenance • In the fight against drainage issues, regularly scheduled parking lot maintenance is needed. • The condition of the pavement itself can lead to water not properly draining away from the lot. • It is important to take a walk around the perimeter and throughout the parking area to ensure any small issues do not lead to expensive repairs.
