Water Is Asphalt’s Biggest Enemy
When a catch basin sinks, its frame breaks loose or the pavement around it settles, water pools and seeps under the asphalt. Every freeze-thaw cycle makes it worse, and a small sinkhole around a drain can turn into a large failed area and a trip hazard. Fixing drainage early is far cheaper than repaving later.
Egan Paving repairs catch basins and drainage problems for businesses, property managers, HOAs and homeowners across Albany, Colonie, Schenectady, Saratoga and the Capital Region.
Common Problems We Fix
Sinking or settled catch basins, loose or broken frames and grates, deteriorated basin tops, sunken pavement around the drain, ponding water from poor pitch, and driveways that send water toward the house or garage.
How We Repair It
We cut out the failed pavement around the structure, repair or rebuild the basin top and reset the frame at the correct height, then backfill, compact and patch with hot asphalt so the surface drains into the basin again. When ponding is the problem, we regrade the surface to correct the pitch. See how drainage fits into a full rebuild: solving drainage and rebuilding from the ground up.
