Redirect Water to Prevent Flooding
If you own commercial property in the Delaware Valley or surrounding areas and are experiencing issues with stormwater infiltration or developing on land where stormwater infiltration is a concern, AWS can help. Our company specializes in exterior drainage solutions and has extensive experience designing and building both small- and large-scale stormwater infiltration systems.
The Importance of Effective Commercial Property Drainage
Effective stormwater infiltration systems and other exterior drainage solutions are integral to the design and maintenance of all commercial properties. They’re necessary for safety purposes and to reduce your risk. Without effective drainage, you may experience flooding and soil erosion. Your location will be more prone to mildew and mold due to improper drainage. Parking lots and other hardscapes will experience more wear and tear and thus be more expensive to maintain. Overall upkeep costs will be higher, and your location will experience diminished curb appeal and potentially reduced property value.
What Is a Stormwater Infiltration System?
Stormwater infiltration is a key component of the natural water cycle and the process through which rainwater permeates soil and eventually replenishes underground aquifers along with streams, lakes, and other bodies of water. If this process is inefficient due to the natural lay of the land or the use of the commercial location, then flooding and soil erosion can occur. Stormwater infiltration systems are exterior drainage solutions that are designed to manage stormwater runoff in a manner that is healthy for the commercial site but also for the greater environment.

The Benefits of Stormwater Infiltration Systems
AWS is able to custom design stormwater infiltration systems based on the unique needs of the location, and most commercial sites are suitable candidates for such systems, including those that are relatively small and have limited construction space available. This approach is very effective at reducing peak flow and thereby avoiding flooding and soil erosion. Reducing runoff volume also reduces the downstream drainage requirements and costs, and this approach is environmentally friendly in that it promotes the recharging of nearby underground aquifers, streams, lakes, and so forth.
Is Your Commercial Property Draining Properly?
A common misconception is that a commercial property that drains well will always drain well, but drainage problems do occur and worsen over time. Consider that many commercial buildings are built on concrete slabs that will settle over time, and the ground will settle along with it. After rainfall, puddles should dissipate relatively quickly, and you shouldn’t experience sogginess in grassy areas. If you do experience these issues, then it may be time to consider stormwater infiltration systems. Water accumulation near your foundation is particularly concerning. You should also watch for buckling and other accelerated wear of your asphalt and other hard surfaces, and if you have a basement, then any dampness or mildew odors are telltale signs that you have a drainage problem.
The Factors That Affect Stormwater Infiltration
Soil infiltration rate is a primary factor and is determined by the soil type and characteristics but also the landscape design. The infiltration rate can also be affected by the natural moisture levels of the ground and the evapotranspiration rate, which is largely determined by local vegetation. There are also variables, such as temperature. Infiltration rates tend to decrease as the temperature decreases. Storm intensity plays a role as well. An unusually severe storm may lead to flooding and other issues that wouldn’t occur during typical storms.
