Preventing Parking Lot
Liability by repairing Catch Basins
Catch basins aka storm drains are installed in parking lots and roadways to provide adequate and correct drainage of water off of the surface. Because water is a prime factor in the deterioration of asphalt and concrete, catch basins are often one of the first areas of a parking lot or roadway to fail, making commercial parking lot repair part of regular asphalt maintenance and repair.
A catch basin is constructed of a concrete cone, reducer top, riser rings and a steel frame and grate. Over time, asphalt will shrink from around the catch basin frames at the surface and water will often seep into that void before it has a chance to drain into the catch basin.
In winter, as the runoff is mixed with highly corrosive salt, there is an even greater chance for the concrete to deteriorate. The freeze/thaw cycles we have in New Jersey further accelerate the deterioration process when temperatures begin to fall. If catch basins are left unrepaired, the asphalt in the surrounding area will further deteriorate and cave in because of base erosion and asphalt and concrete failure.
Consistent maintenance & repair is important for the overall quality and life of a parking lot. If catch basins are left un-repaired, the asphalt in the surrounding area will further deteriorate and cave in because of base erosion, as well as, asphalt and concrete failure. The result is dangerous potholes that can damage vehicles or injure pedestrians.
Asphalt installation around the catch basin site creates a smooth, level finish, eliminating personal liability and vehicle damages caused by a catch basin pothole.
