Expert dry wells for Levittown homeowners. Historic first American suburb with renovation demand
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.
Levittown is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Levittown holds a unique place in American history as the nation's first mass-produced suburb, developed by Levitt & Sons in the late 1940s. Today its curving streets and cul-de-sacs are lined with heavily modified Cape Cods, ranches, and expanded homes that homeowners have personalized over decades. Hempstead Turnpike and Wantagh State Parkway provide major access, while the Levittown Public Library and community pools serve as gathering places. With original infrastructure now over 70 years old, driveway replacements and walkway upgrades are among the most common improvement projects. Brothers Paving helps Levittown homeowners refresh their properties with cost-effective, durable hardscaping that brings these classic homes into the modern era.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our dry wells solutions are designed for Levittown's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Levittown is the quintessential postwar planned community, where thousands of originally identical homes now present remarkably uniform paving and masonry upgrade needs. The flat outwash plain and sandy soils are easy to work with, but the original developments were built with minimal subbase under driveways and walkways, so full-depth reconstruction is usually necessary. Freeze-thaw damage and decades of road salt exposure have deteriorated most original concrete surfaces beyond simple patching.
