Expert Drainage Solutions for Minneapolis Businesses

Your Local, Trusted Drainage Contractor

Water pooling and poor runoff are the most common issues with pavements. If left unaddressed, standing water can completely undermine your asphalt or concrete subgrade, leading to severe structural failure. At ACT Asphalt Specialties, we specialize in problem-solving for drainage and design issues. As a highly experienced drainage contractor, we bring over 40 years of expertise to effectively assess your property's grading and implement reliable solutions that keep your investment safe and dry.

Custom Drainage Systems for Your Property

Whether you are dealing with a flooded parking lot or need effective yard drainage solutions to protect your home's foundation, we build hardscape structures designed to manage water flow perfectly.

Concrete Swales & Gutters

We construct highly precise concrete swales for drainage, such as engineering a half-percent slope for complex commercial loading docks. We also specialize in removing and replacing curb and gutter systems to channel water runoff away from your pavement seamlessly.

Catch Basin Adjustments

A sunken or failing catch basin is a major hazard that prevents water from draining correctly. We expertly adjust catch basins and repair existing drainage solutions to restore proper water collection and flow.

Retaining Walls & Yard Drainage Solutions

For properties dealing with steep slopes or soil erosion, we build durable concrete and paver retaining walls. These structures can be paired with integrated yard drainage solutions to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup and safely route water away from vulnerable areas.

What to Expect When Working With ACT Asphalt Specialties?

Solving complex water issues requires exact elevations and a thorough understanding of both asphalt and concrete surfaces. Our team brings over 40 years of experience in concrete and asphalt paving to make every project streamlined and effective for water management.

• Masters of Elevation: We are exceptionally good at setting the right elevations to create lasting solutions for drainage problems.
• In-House Asphalt & Concrete Coordination: Correcting drainage systems often requires tearing up asphalt to install concrete curbs or catch basins. Because we were the first company in the Twin Cities to offer both asphalt and concrete services in-house, we can coordinate these complex projects seamlessly, saving you the hassle of hiring two separate contractors.
• Professional Job Sites: We maintain incredibly neat, clean, and professional job sites. We ensure that no signs, garbage, or mess are left behind once your drainage project is complete.
