What Culvert Installation Does For Your Property

Driveway culverts are drainage pipes that run underneath the surface to keep water from flooding the road. These channels are necessary when the driveway crosses a small stream or ditch. If the driveway is at the bottom of a slope, a culvert may be necessary to catch rainwater that flows downhill.

Frequently Asked Questions About Driveway Culverts

We’re here to answer all your questions about culverts, drainage, and preparing your property for installation. Don’t hesitate to reach out for more information. 

In general, if a significant amount of water, like a stream, flows under your driveway, then you will need a culvert to ensure proper drainage and prevent flooding. Your property’s characteristics and topography, along with local regulations, will determine whether a culvert is necessary; for example, if land slopes down toward your driveway, it may need extra drainage support to stop flooding.

Local regulations generally require driveway culverts to be at least 12 to 15 inches in diameter. The slope of the land, the average amount of rainfall or amount of water flowing under the driveway, the size of the drainage area that feeds the culvert, and local rules all factor into the size calculation. Working with a professional to calculate the proper size is crucial to an effective system.

Costs for culvert pipe installation vary depending on the length and diameter of the pipe, the pipe material, how much excavation is necessary, and the local rules and regulations. The longer and more complex the installation, the more it will cost.

Installation time for driveway culverts can vary from a few hours to a few days. The process involves clearing the site, which might take additional time for rocky or hard-packed soil, digging the trench, installing the pipe, and backfilling. The larger the culvert and the more difficult it is to get to the work site, the longer the installation process will take.
