Question 4

Why is drainage such a common problem on Long Island?

Accepted Answer

Long Island's flat topography, high water table, and dense residential development create a perfect storm for drainage issues. Sandy soils on the South Shore drain quickly but can erode, while clay soils on the North Shore hold water and create saturated conditions. Combined with heavy rainfall from nor'easters and hurricanes, many properties need engineered drainage systems to manage water effectively and protect structures from damage.

Question 5

How do I know if my property has a drainage problem?

Accepted Answer

Common signs include standing water in your yard after rain, a perpetually soggy or muddy lawn, water pooling against your foundation, basement flooding or dampness, erosion along your driveway or walkways, and ice forming on paved surfaces during winter. If you notice any of these issues, a professional drainage evaluation can identify the source and recommend the right solution.

Question 6

Do I need a permit for drainage work on Long Island?

Accepted Answer

Permit requirements vary by township across Nassau and Suffolk County. Many municipalities require permits for drainage work that connects to public storm systems, alters natural water flow, or involves significant excavation. Some towns also have stormwater management regulations that apply to new construction and renovations. Brothers Paving handles all permit research and applications as part of our drainage services.

Question 7

How much does drainage installation cost on Long Island?

Accepted Answer

Drainage costs depend on the type of system, the size of the area being addressed, soil conditions, and the complexity of the installation. Simple downspout tie-ins are the most affordable option, while comprehensive systems combining French drains, dry wells, and grading corrections represent a larger investment. We provide free on-site evaluations and detailed estimates tailored to your specific property and drainage needs.

Question 8

Can you install drainage without tearing up my entire yard?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. We use targeted excavation techniques and plan our drainage routes to minimize disruption to your existing landscape, hardscaping, and structures. For some projects, we can trench narrow lines for pipes and restore the surface with minimal visible impact. We always discuss the scope of disruption before work begins and restore all affected areas after installation.
