Parking Lot Flooding
Navigating Stormwater Services
Flooding on your property may be due to improper drainage or a blockage within your stormwater system, commonly a clogged catch basin, discharge pipe or trench drain.
Remediating Flooding in Your Parking Lot
Stormwater control measures are installed on properties to store and treat stormwater. If stormwater control measures (SCMs) are not able to properly store the water on your property, they are not functioning properly. Flooding on your property is a symptom of a larger stormwater problem.
To remediate flooding issues, AQUALIS professionals will conduct an onsite inspection to review the stormwater system and evaluate potential causes. Identifying the root cause of the flooding is essential to ensure it does not reoccur.
Stormwater on Your Property
When originally designed, engineers create stormwater control measures that can temporarily store stormwater after significant rain events. The average size of rain event is calculated based on historical data and future projections. However, these predictions may be outdated as additional impervious surfaces lead to more runoff. In short, your system may be functioning as originally designed, but the design is no longer appropriate. To evaluate drainage on your property, a Professional Engineer can inspect your site for any potential failures or shortcomings.
Swales are designed with soil that allows water to infiltrate the ground, providing ground water recharge. Many SCMs utilize sunlight to facilitate evaporation and vegetation to facilitate denitrification
How SCMs Improve Water Quality
