Professional Asphalt Drainage Solutions in Snohomish, WA

Storm Lake Paving provides professional drainage solutions for residential, commercial, and municipal asphalt surfaces throughout Snohomish and surrounding areas. Proper drainage is essential to protecting asphalt from water-related damage that leads to cracking, potholes, base erosion, and premature pavement failure.

Formerly known as JD Hunt Paving, our team continues to deliver proven drainage solutions designed to manage surface and subsurface water effectively. We focus on identifying how water interacts with your pavement and implementing solutions that protect both the asphalt surface and the underlying structure.

If your property experiences standing water, poor runoff, or recurring pavement damage, Storm Lake Paving provides reliable drainage solutions built for long-term performance.

Why Drainage Is Critical for Asphalt Performance

Asphalt is designed to shed water quickly. When drainage is inadequate, water collects on the surface or seeps into the base, weakening the pavement structure and accelerating deterioration.



Poor drainage can cause:

• Standing or pooling water
• Cracking and surface deterioration
• Pothole formation
• Base erosion and settlement
• Reduced pavement lifespan

Effective drainage protects your asphalt investment and reduces the need for frequent repairs.

Common Asphalt Drainage Problems

Storm Lake Paving regularly addresses drainage issues caused by improper design, aging pavement, or site changes over time. Identifying these problems early helps prevent costly damage.



Common drainage problems include:

• Improper surface slopes
• Low spots and depressions
• Inadequate runoff paths
• Failing or clogged drainage systems
• Water infiltration beneath asphalt

Each issue requires a tailored solution based on site conditions and pavement structure.

Surface Drainage Solutions

Surface drainage focuses on directing water away from asphalt surfaces before it can cause damage. Storm Lake Paving evaluates pavement slopes and surface contours to ensure water flows properly.



Surface drainage solutions may include:

• Regrading asphalt surfaces
• Correcting low spots
• Improving runoff direction
• Enhancing surface slope

These solutions help eliminate standing water and reduce moisture exposure.

Subsurface Drainage Considerations

Water beneath the asphalt surface is often the most damaging. Subsurface drainage issues weaken the base and lead to recurring pavement failures.



Storm Lake Paving evaluates subsurface conditions to identify:

• Saturated base materials
• Poor soil drainage
• Hidden moisture pathways
• Structural weaknesses

By addressing subsurface drainage, we help stabilize the foundation and improve pavement longevity.

Drainage Solutions for Parking Lots & Commercial Properties

Commercial properties face increased drainage challenges due to large surface areas and heavy traffic. Storm Lake Paving provides drainage solutions designed to protect parking lots, access roads, and commercial pavement.



Commercial drainage solutions help:

• Reduce liability risks from standing water
• Improve safety for vehicles and pedestrians
• Extend pavement service life
• Prevent costly structural repairs

We work with property managers to implement drainage improvements with minimal disruption.

Residential Drainage Solutions

Residential driveways and private roads are also vulnerable to drainage issues. Improper drainage can lead to driveway damage, erosion, and water intrusion near structures.



Storm Lake Paving provides residential drainage solutions that:

• Direct water away from driveways and homes
• Reduce pooling and surface damage
• Protect underlying base materials
• Improve driveway performance

Our solutions are tailored to property layout and drainage needs.

Drainage Integration with Grading & Paving

Effective drainage is closely tied to proper grading and paving practices. Storm Lake Paving integrates drainage solutions with grading and asphalt services to ensure long-term results.

Integrated drainage planning includes:

• Coordinating surface slopes
• Aligning pavement design with runoff paths
• Supporting drainage structures
• Preventing water accumulation



This holistic approach protects asphalt from the surface down.

Drainage Corrections for Existing Pavement

Drainage problems often develop over time due to settlement, wear, or site changes. Storm Lake Paving provides drainage corrections for existing pavement without unnecessary replacement.



Drainage correction services may include:

• Surface regrading
• Localized asphalt repairs
• Drainage structure improvements
• Moisture control solutions

These corrections restore proper water flow and extend pavement life.

Preventing Future Drainage Problems

Storm Lake Paving focuses on long-term drainage performance, not just immediate fixes. We design solutions that address the root cause of drainage issues and help prevent recurrence.



Preventative strategies include:

• Proper slope design
• Coordinated drainage planning
• Routine pavement maintenance
• Ongoing evaluations

This proactive approach protects asphalt investments over time.

Drainage for Municipal & Public Projects

Municipal and public asphalt surfaces require reliable drainage to support safety and infrastructure longevity. Storm Lake Paving provides drainage solutions for public parking areas, roadways, and access lanes.
