Culvert Storm Drain Cleaning
A culvert is a structure that allows storm water to flow under a Driveway, road, railroad, trail, or similar obstruction from one side to the other side. Typically embedded so as to be surrounded by soil or rocks, a culvert may be made from a PVC pipe, Galvanized pipe, or reinforced concrete.Culverts are commonly used both as cross-drains for ditch relief and to pass water under a road at natural drainage for rain storms and stream crossings. A culvert may be a bridge-like structure designed to allow vehicle or pedestrian traffic to cross over the waterway while allowing adequate passage for the water to the canals in Florida. Culverts come in many sizes and shapes including round, elliptical, flat-bottomed, pear-shaped, and box-like constructions, mostly common now are PVC Pipe. The culvert type and shape selection is based on a number of factors including requirements for Road weight, commercial, residential, main road, state road, and the closer the pipe is the canal it is draining to, the larger the drain pipe.
