Curb and Gutter Drainage Installation & Integration

Move Stormwater Efficiently Off Streets and Into the Right System

Curb and gutter systems do more than define the edge of the roadway—they direct stormwater runoff to the right collection points and protect surrounding infrastructure. At Diversified Drainage, we install and integrate curb and gutter drainage systems that tie into catch basins, storm drains, and surface grading plans to prevent flooding and erosion. Whether you’re working on new street development or retrofitting older infrastructure, we build durable systems designed for Minnesota’s climate and municipal standards.

About the Service: What Is Curb & Gutter Drainage?

Curb and gutter drainage refers to the way stormwater is collected from paved street surfaces and directed toward catch basins or storm inlets using curb profiles and sloped gutters. Proper installation and integration are critical for effective flow control, flood prevention, and long-term street performance.

Our Curb & Gutter Drainage Capabilities

  • New Curb and Gutter Drainage Design
    Coordinate with grading and flow plans to ensure proper water movement to catch basins and storm inlets.
  • Tie-In to Catch Basins or Inlets
    Seamless connection of curbline flow to underground drainage systems.
  • Retrofit and Rehab Work
    Upgrade or replace aging or undersized curb and gutter systems to restore effective drainage and prevent roadway deterioration.
  • Erosion Control at Low Points
    Install reinforced basins, trench drains, or aprons where water volumes and velocities are highest.
  • ADA and Intersection Integration
    Ensure curb transitions and ramp areas meet both stormwater performance and accessibility standards.
  • Durable Installations for Freeze/Thaw Zones
    We use reinforced materials and precision grading to prevent cracking, movement, and ponding in harsh Minnesota climates.

Municipal Drainage FAQs

Proper municipal drainage starts with the right system—and a clear understanding of how it works. Explore these FAQs to learn more about drainage.

What’s the main purpose of curb and gutter drainage?

To capture and direct stormwater off roadways and into designated collection systems, minimizing surface flooding and infrastructure erosion.

How is this different from just installing curb?

Without proper slope and tie-in to storm infrastructure, curbs can cause ponding or misdirect runoff. We design for flow control, not just form.

Do you handle both concrete work and drainage connections?

Yes. We provide full curb forming, pouring, and tie-in to storm drains or catch basins.

Can this be retrofitted into older neighborhoods?

Absolutely. We often install or rehab curb and gutter systems as part of larger municipal street improvements.
