Expert pool drainage for Plainview homeowners. Mid-to-high residential, strong paving demand
Proper drainage around a swimming pool is essential for protecting your pool structure, maintaining a safe patio surface, and preserving the longevity of your hardscape investment. At Brothers Paving & Masonry, we design and install comprehensive pool drainage systems for Long Island homeowners that manage every source of water around the pool area, including splash-out, deck washing, stormwater runoff, and rising groundwater. Standing water on a pool deck is a serious slip hazard. Beneath the surface, saturated soil undermines the compacted base that supports your pavers, leading to settling and freeze-thaw heaving during Long Island winters.
The pool structure itself is also at risk: water flowing behind the coping and into the bond beam area deteriorates concrete and corrodes reinforcing steel, and in winter, infiltrated water can freeze and cause cracking. Our drainage systems address all of these threats by grading the patio surface toward designated collection points and installing the right combination of drain types for your property.
Our pool drainage solutions include channel drains (trench drains) installed flush with the patio surface to intercept sheet flow, slot drains for a more discreet modern look, and point drains positioned at strategic low spots. For subsurface water, we install perforated pipe within the aggregate base to intercept groundwater before it saturates the subgrade, especially important on Long Island properties with high water tables or clay-heavy soils. All piping is installed with proper pitch for gravity flow, using solid PVC for transport lines and perforated pipe for collection zones, with cleanout access points at turns and junctions. We also integrate equipment pad drainage and filter backwash routing into the overall system so every water source is managed within a single, cohesive plan. Our systems serve homeowners across Nassau and Suffolk County, including South Shore and coastal communities where tidal influence and storm surge create additional groundwater challenges.
Plainview is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Plainview is a well-established residential community in central Nassau County, built largely during the post-war suburban expansion. The hamlet's streets are lined with ranch homes, split-levels, and Colonials, many of which are undergoing significant renovations and upgrades by a new generation of homeowners. Washington Avenue and Old Country Road frame the community, with residential neighborhoods branching off in orderly grids. Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District draws families to the area, and rising property values have fueled demand for exterior improvements. Driveway replacements are especially popular as original asphalt from the 1950s and 60s reaches end of life. Brothers Paving has completed hundreds of projects in Plainview, from full driveway reconstructions with proper grading and drainage to decorative paver walkways that modernize mid-century homes.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our pool drainage solutions are designed for Plainview's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Plainview's postwar Levitt-style housing stock features thousands of homes with original concrete walkways and asphalt driveways now well past their serviceable lifespan. The flat Hempstead Plain terrain and compacted sandy outwash soils make for straightforward excavation and grading, though the shallow topsoil layer can complicate planting adjacent to new hardscapes. Freeze-thaw cycling combined with road salt tracked onto driveways is the primary cause of surface scaling and joint failure in this area.
