What is culvert cleaning and why is it important for highway maintenance?
Culvert cleaning removes debris, sediment, and obstructions from drainage systems to ensure proper water flow under roads and highways. Regular culvert maintenance helps prevent flooding, erosion, and costly road damage.
How often should culverts be inspected and cleaned?
We recommend inspecting culverts annually or after major storms. Cleaning frequency depends on local conditions, but most require servicing at least once a year to maintain flow and prevent blockages.
What is a weeper cleaner, and how does it work?
A weeper cleaner is a specialized tool used to clear and maintain foundation drainage pipes, also known as weeping tiles. It helps restore proper drainage around your foundation, reducing the risk of water damage and basement flooding.
What’s the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?
Interior waterproofing manages water that enters your basement using drainage systems and sump pumps, while exterior waterproofing involves sealing the foundation walls and redirecting water away from your home. R&D offers both options depending on your property’s needs.
When should I consider installing an outdoor sump pump?
Outdoor sump pumps are ideal for properties with high groundwater levels or poor drainage. They’re commonly used for yard drainage, around foundations, or in rural or highway projects to keep areas dry and protected.
Do you offer commercial waterproofing solutions?
Yes! We provide both commercial and residential waterproofing services, including foundation repair, sump pump installation, and full drainage systems tailored to your property’s size and structural demands.
How do I know if my home needs waterproofing?
Signs include water in the basement, musty smells, mold, or visible cracks in foundation walls. Whether you’re looking for interior waterproofing or exterior waterproofing, our team can assess your home and recommend a custom solution.
