Western Canada’s GREENER Way to Repair Asphalt

Smartfix Asphalt offers comprehensive repair services for catch basins, manholes, and utility boxes. Whether addressing surface repairs surrounding these structures or performing complete drainage system replacements, we’re here to help. Our specialized Smartfix Process ensures seamless, durable repairs around drainage areas and utility structures. This seamless approach plays a key role in extending the lifespan of asphalt by preventing water damage caused by cracks or seams.

Industry standard “cut out” catch basin repair

Ongoing maintenance to fill seams with Rubberized crack fill is required, in an attempt to keep water out, which results in a very limited protection against collateral damages caused by water seepage.

Smartfix Asphalt Thero-Bonded Seamless Catch Basin Repair

Thermo-Bonded means; the existing asphalt is softened by the Infrared heat and bonded to the new asphalt creating a Seamless Repair, which keeps water out, preventing collateral damages caused by seams.

Raised Catch Basins and Manholes 

The catch basin (also known as Storm Drains) is higher than the surrounding asphalt. This poses a tripping hazard and also creates standing water that degrades existing asphalt around the area. Repairs typically involve lowering the basin to promote proper drainage.

Sunken Catch Basins and Manholes 

Either water erodes the sub-base, or the base has settled and can no longer support the asphalt. Depending on the severity of the damage and base condition, the asphalt may be repaired by infrared as is, or the repair may require replacing the base and/or even the entire structure of the drain.

Sink Holes 

Catch basins usually go unnoticed in parking lots until sinkholes develop in the asphalt, which can cause liability hazards and major costs. Smartfix Asphalt will inspect your storm drain and evaluate small repairs that eventually could lead to costly repairs, if left unattended.  It can be as simple as replacing some mortar in the basin or repair broken asphalt around the rim, that will keep your parking lot drainage system working properly.

What causes catch basin collapse?

Catch basins, like any other infrastructure, can deteriorate over time due to a combination of environmental and human-made factors. Common causes of damage include erosion, intense vehicular traffic, and general wear and tear. If you notice cracking or heaving in the asphalt or concrete around your catch basin, or if the cement mortar enclosing the inner pipe shows signs of damage, these could be early warning signs of structural issues.

When the main structure of a catch basin becomes compromised, it is no longer stable. Repeated pressure from vehicles, particularly heavy trucks, and impacts from snowplows can worsen the damage, causing the structure to sink and creating significant liability concerns.

To avoid costly repairs and prevent further deterioration, it’s essential to have your catch basins and manholes inspected at the first sign of trouble. At Smartfix Asphalt, we specialize in identifying and repairing these issues efficiently. Don’t wait for the problem to worsen—contact us to fix the damage and ensure the safety and longevity of your catch basin today!

Holes and Cracks Around Catch Basin

When a catch basin collapses, it poses a significant safety risk and leads to costly repairs. At Smartfix Asphalt, we specialize in maintaining your drainage system with unmatched precision and expertise.

Allowing deterioration to progress unchecked causes water to seep into cracks and holes. Over time, the cycle of freezing and thawing exacerbates the damage, increasing repair expenses. Leaving a catch basin unaddressed until it develops into a sinkhole can result in extensive damage to the surrounding asphalt and escalate liability concerns. Regular preventative maintenance helps minimize costs, extend the lifespan of your drainage system, and maintain the integrity of your parking lot.

For older catch basins that are beyond standard repairs, we go above and beyond by completely excavating and rebuilding the entire drainage system to ensure lasting results. Trust Smartfix Asphalt to protect your property and prevent avoidable damage.
