Culvert or Ditch

Published on September 5, 2018

Fall Check-up

Do you have a culvert or a ditch in front of your property?

Fall is a good time to verify if there is any accumulated dirt and leaves residues at the entrance or exit of the culvert pipe. In addition, make sure to mow the grass shorter in front of the entrance in order to ensure proper water flow in the ditch which comes from surface runoff of the land.

Accumulation of residues can lead to some blockage of the pipe and thereby prevent the free flow of water that will eventually overflow the ditch.
