Catch Basin Repairs in Ottawa
At GLV Paving Inc., we understand how critical proper drainage is to maintaining the integrity of your paved surfaces. One of the most overlooked yet essential components of commercial and industrial paving is the catch basin — a key part of your stormwater management system. Over time, catch basins can deteriorate due to heavy traffic, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, and improper installation. If not addressed, damaged catch basins can lead to standing water, pavement collapse, and costly structural damage.
Our team specializes in professional catch basin repairs for commercial lots, residential complexes, and municipal properties across Ottawa and surrounding areas. Whether you’re experiencing minor settling or full collapse, we have the tools, experience, and equipment to restore your system efficiently and permanently.
The repair process begins with a full inspection. We assess the condition of the catch basin, surrounding asphalt or interlock, and the underlying base to determine the root cause of the damage. Once identified, we carefully remove the surrounding pavement and rebuild the structure using reinforced concrete, steel risers, and new bricks or pre-cast components, ensuring it meets current drainage codes and withstands future wear.
At GLV Paving, we don’t believe in temporary patches. Our repairs are designed for long-term performance, giving you peace of mind through Ottawa’s harsh winters and heavy rains. We take pride in delivering clean, precise work that blends seamlessly into your existing pavement, minimizing visual disruption while maximizing durability.
Timely catch basin repairs not only prevent further damage but also improve overall safety and compliance. Uneven or sunken grates pose a liability risk to vehicles and pedestrians alike. By acting quickly, you protect your investment and avoid the need for full lot replacement.
If you've noticed pooling water, sunken pavement, or cracking around your catch basin, don't wait. Contact GLV Paving Inc. today for a free consultation and on-site assessment. We’ll provide honest recommendations and deliver quality workmanship you can count on.
Commonly Asked Questions
How do I know if my catch basin needs repair?
Signs your catch basin may need repair include standing water, sunken or cracked pavement around the basin, unusual odors, or visible collapse of the grate or surrounding surface. If you're unsure, our team can perform an on-site inspection to assess the condition and recommend the best solution.
How long does a catch basin repair take?
Most catch basin repairs can be completed in 1 to 2 days, depending on the extent of the damage and the size of the surrounding area. We always aim to minimize disruption to your property or business while ensuring the repair is done thoroughly and properly.
Can you repair a catch basin in winter?
While it's possible to perform emergency repairs in cold conditions, spring through fall is the ideal time for permanent catch basin repairs in Ottawa. Cold weather can affect curing times and materials. For best results, we recommend scheduling non-urgent repairs during warmer months.
