Our Comprehensive Culvert Services

A culvert is a key component of a property’s drainage system. Our services cover every aspect of culvert work.

  • New Culvert Installation: We handle the entire process, from excavating the trench and preparing the bedding to setting the pipe at the correct slope and backfilling with the proper materials.
  • Culvert Replacement: If you have a rusted, crushed, or undersized culvert, we offer full culvert replacement. We will remove the old pipe and install a new, appropriately sized culvert to restore proper drainage and structural integrity.
  • Driveway Culverts: We specialize in installing driveway culverts, which are essential for providing safe and reliable access to your property without obstructing water flow in roadside ditches.
  • Material Sourcing: We work with a variety of culvert materials, including corrugated metal (CMP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and can recommend the best option for your specific application and budget.

The Importance of Proper Culvert Sizing & Installation

Installing a culvert correctly is a science. An improperly installed culvert is guaranteed to fail, leading to expensive and dangerous problems.

  • Proper Sizing: An undersized culvert will be overwhelmed during a heavy rainstorm, causing water to back up and flow over your driveway, leading to severe erosion. We assess the drainage area to calculate the correct pipe diameter needed to handle peak water flow in your specific area, whether it’s Longmont or Brighton.
  • Correct Slope and Bedding: The culvert must be installed at a precise slope to maintain water velocity—not too fast to cause erosion, and not too slow to cause sediment buildup. It must also be laid on a bed of properly compacted material to prevent it from settling or shifting over time.

Signs You Need a Culvert Replacement

Look for these warning signs that your existing culvert may be failing:

  • Your driveway or road is starting to sink or dip over the pipe.
  • Water is flowing over the road during storms instead of through the pipe.
  • The ends of the pipe are crushed, bent, or rusted through.
  • Sinkholes or erosion are appearing around the culvert inlet or outlet.
