Storm Drain Installation


Proper storm drainage is critical for protecting parking lots, driveways, streets, and surrounding property from flooding, erosion, and long-term damage. At Modern Septic & Sewer, we provide professional storm drain installation services for commercial properties, municipalities, and homes throughout Southwest Michigan and the surrounding areas.
Our team designs and installs storm drain systems that efficiently move water away from surfaces, helping prevent pooling, pavement deterioration, and structural issues below ground.

SINKHOLE INVESTIGATION

AND REPAIR


Sinkholes in your yard or parking lot can be a sign of a failing septic system, damaged sewer line, or underground pipe collapse and should be investigated quickly. At Modern Septic & Sewer, we specialize in locating the cause of sinkholes and repairing the underlying issue before it leads to larger problems. Our team inspects septic systems, drywells, sewer lines and more to determine the source and provide reliable repair solutions that restore your system and stabilize the surrounding ground.

If you notice soft spots, depressions, or sinkholes in your yard or parking lot, our technicians can diagnose the problem and recommend the right repair.

Backfilling, compaction, and surface restoration

We focus on long-term performance, making sure water is directed safely away from buildings, pavement, and high-traffic areas.

Sinkhole Diagnostics & Repair

Sinkholes and surface collapse are often caused by failing or improperly installed storm drains. When stormwater leaks underground, it can wash away soil over time—creating voids that eventually collapse.
We diagnose and repair sinkhole-related issues by:

Addressing storm drain problems early helps prevent costly repairs, safety hazards, and further ground failure.

Why Storm Drain Systems Matter


A properly installed storm drain system helps:

  • Prevent standing water and flooding
  • Protect pavement and structural foundations
  • Reduce erosion and soil loss
  • Improve safety in parking lots and roadways
  • Extend the lifespan of asphalt and concrete surfaces
