Water issues are no small matter—especially when you’re dealing with environmental compliance at a landfill site. When a local environmental company in Elizabethtown, PA noticed persistent water ponding on their property, they knew it could lead to bigger problems down the line. That’s when they gave us a call.
They’d seen our work signs around town, and after witnessing our paving quality on other projects, they trusted us to help them solve their drainage challenge once and for all.
The Drainage Dilemma
This wasn’t a simple patch job.
The property in question is tied to landfill operations, which means it’s subject to strict state and federal guidelines for stormwater runoff. Standing water not only posed a risk to their operations, but it was also a regulatory red flag.
When we arrived on-site, we quickly identified the issue: improper grading had led to areas where water collected instead of flowing off the property as intended.
In a place like Elizabethtown, where seasonal storms can drop significant rain in short bursts, that kind of drainage failure is a recipe for trouble.
Strategic Excavation Meets Slope-Smart Paving
The solution started with excavation.
We removed compromised asphalt and regraded the affected areas, ensuring the new paving would direct water exactly where it needed to go. With precise slope management, we reshaped the site to follow proper drainage paths, eliminating the risk of ponding.
Then came the patching and asphalt paving. Using high-quality materials and our proven process, we delivered a smooth, durable surface that not only corrected the drainage problem but reinforced the property’s long-term resilience.
The result?
The Elizabethtown Landfill no longer deals with ponding water. Everything now drains off properly, meeting both environmental standards and operational needs.
“No more standing water—and no more stress about runoff compliance.”
