Expert dry wells for Hicksville homeowners. Major LIRR hub with large residential base
Dry wells are one of the most effective drainage solutions on Long Island, providing an underground collection point where stormwater is temporarily stored and gradually absorbed into the surrounding soil. Brothers Paving & Masonry designs and installs dry well systems that address standing water, foundation flooding, and soggy yards across Nassau and Suffolk County properties.
Long Island's geology makes dry wells a particularly smart choice. Sandy and gravelly South Shore soils offer excellent natural percolation, while properly sized dry wells on the clay-heavy North Shore store water until the surrounding soil can accept it. A dry well receives water from connected sources (roof downspouts, driveway drains, catch basins, or French drains) through underground piping. The water enters a precast concrete or high-density polyethylene chamber buried several feet below grade and slowly seeps through perforations into the surrounding gravel bed and soil.
Our installation begins with a thorough site evaluation: drainage patterns, soil percolation rates, water table depth, and optimal chamber placement. We excavate to the specified depth, line the pit with geotextile filter fabric, surround the chamber with clean washed gravel, and connect all incoming pipes with watertight fittings. Systems range from single-chamber residential units handling one downspout to multi-chamber configurations managing entire properties. All piping is installed at a consistent pitch for gravity flow, with cleanout access points for future maintenance. After installation, we backfill, restore the surface grade, and test the system to verify proper flow.
Hicksville is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Hicksville is a large, centrally located hamlet in Nassau County, anchored by a major LIRR hub that serves as a junction for multiple rail lines. Broadway and Newbridge Road form the commercial center, while residential neighborhoods of ranches, split-levels, and Colonials spread along Jerusalem Avenue, Old Country Road, and Division Avenue. The Hicksville School District serves a diverse population of families who have invested in this community for generations. As many postwar homes reach the age where driveways and walkways need replacement, Brothers Paving meets strong demand for practical hardscaping upgrades throughout Hicksville, delivering quality asphalt and paver installations at fair prices.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our dry wells solutions are designed for Hicksville's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Hicksville's compact lots and busy traffic patterns mean driveways and walkways take heavy daily use, making durability and proper base construction especially important. The flat outwash plain soils are workable but can be laced with construction debris from the original postwar development, requiring careful site prep. Many homes from the 1940s and 1950s have concrete stoops and steps that have spalled and cracked from seven decades of freeze-thaw exposure.
