Culverts

A culvert is a tunnel structure constructed under roadways or railways to provide cross drainage and are typically embedded into the ground and surrounded by soil.  The size and type of culvert depends on the amount of flowing water, area that it is discharging to, and how deep it needs to be installed.  They can also serve as roadway surfaces, like bridges for cars or pedestrians.

PVC Pipes

We have both solid drainage pipes and perforated drainage pipes in a variety of sizes that can cover a number of drainage solutions.

Solid Drainage Pipes

Solid drainage pipes are designed for a variety of uses which can include stormwater management, stormwater retention and in agricultural and highway scenarios.  They are available in both rigid and flexible designs, with varying degrees of thickness.

Perforated Drainage Pipes

Perforated drainage pipes function the same as solid drainage pipes overall and are offered in a variety of sizes, however it also allows water to enter or exit through small openings along sections of the pipe.  These openings can serve as a great drainage advantage.  The more openings that exist on the pipe, the more water the pipe is able to move and drain.

Pipe Fittings

We have a vast inventory of pipe fittings for both residential and commercial needs to help with any drainage issues you may have.  They are commonly made of a few different materials, including several types of steel, cooper, iron, aluminum and plastic.  Pipe fittings are very popular for sewage, drainage and storm drain systems as they follow for adjustments of the design and layout of the pipes.  The most common type of pipe that is used with pipe fittings is PVC pipe as it is commonly used for water and sewer lines.

Sump Pumps & Sump Pits

Sump pumps and sump pits manage exterior water runoff.  The sump pit collects the accumulating water while the pump removes it from the house and deposits it outside via a drain pipe.  Available in a wide assortment of sizes, sump pumps and sump pits can be extremely useful in flooding situations, and are an excellent preventative measure in areas that are prone to flood.

A sump pit is an area that is created to catch water and other spilled liquids.  One of the most common places to find a sump pit is in a basement, where it is used to drain water so that the basement does not flood or sit in water.  In addition to a sump pit, a sump pump is typically used in the same area.  The pump allows you to remove the liquids from the pit and keep the water levels from rising, causing an overflow that may backup into your basement or other area.

Drainage & Landscape Fabrics

Drainage fabrics are laid between the soil and stone to keep out excess soil and sediment.  This fabric helps keep the drain filter clear and operating appropriately.  It also keeps roots at bay which could damage the drain field and can be used for a variety of projects, including:

• Retaining Walls
• French Drains
• Footing Drains
• Septic Fields
• Curtain Drains

Landscape fabrics are typically used as weed barriers in gardens, planting beds and fields.  The main purpose of using landscaping fabric in your flower beds and gardens is that it acts as a barrier between your plants and the ground.  By acting as a barrier it allows air and water to pass through to your plants while preventing weeds from taking root.  It also block sunlight from impacting the soil, helping to eliminate weeds and other concerns.

Erosion Control

Straw Blankets - Weed free straw blankets are woven from a material for erosion control up to one year.  Serves as a mulching layer.

Wattles - Use wattles over bare soil or in conjunction with erosion control blankets on steep slopes, around drains for inlet protection, or as perimeter control for job sites.

Round Top Pins - Round top pins prevent erosion control products from movement.

Catch Basins & Grates

When looking to manage your drainage solutions you should consider ADS catch basins and grates as they effectively collect surface water while limited the amount of debris that enters.  They offer a complete line of catch basins and grates for both residential and commercial stormwater management solutions and all of their grates are available in a variety of colors so they can blend in with their surroundings.
