We stay active on commercial drainage work across Clinton Township, where runoff control has to protect pavement structure, curb lines, and loading areas before water starts working into the base. Use the map and the project pins below to review recent jobs and see how we correct grade, set inlets, and move water off active sites.

Commercial Properties We Service in Clinton Township

Site Drainage has to match how each property moves traffic, water, and risk. In Clinton Township, we size the work around the site use so runoff does not damage pavement, create liability, or interrupt operations.

  • Retail Centers & Plazas, drainage has to keep ADA routes open, limit ponding at storefront walks, and move water away from customer entrances before it tracks in dirt and ice.
  • Industrial Parks & Warehouses, drainage must handle heavy axle loads, loading dock traffic, and constant runoff without softening the base or pushing settlement into travel lanes.
  • HOAs & Multi-Family Complexes, drainage protects shared drives, walkways, and parking areas where standing water turns into complaints, slip risk, and long-term subgrade damage.
  • Municipal & Institutional Facilities, drainage needs to support public access, controlled traffic flow, and reliable surface performance around schools, offices, and service buildings that cannot afford recurring low spots.

Built for Michigan Weather: Our Clinton Township Site Drainage Standards

Our drainage lasts longer in Clinton Township because we fix the reason water stays on the site, not just the puddle people can see. We shape the grade so runoff moves away from pavement and foundations, we build a firm sub-base that does not pump under traffic, and we use details that hold up through Michigan freeze-thaw cycles. That cuts down on repeat patching, keeps base repairs from turning into bigger capital work, and gives property managers a cleaner maintenance budget instead of surprise failures.

  • Runoff control: We set the slope so water leaves the lot before it can soak joints, soften edges, or work into low spots that keep breaking open after every storm.
  • Base prep: We compact and shape the support below the surface so the pavement stays stable under truck traffic, which helps avoid settlement and early repair calls.
  • Cold-weather durability: We use drainage details that handle freeze-thaw movement without falling apart fast, which saves owners from paying twice for the same problem.

Common Site Drainage Projects We Handle in Clinton Township

  • Retail resurfacing near Hall Road: Property managers bring us in before milling so the new surface does not inherit a bad slope. We reset inlet elevations, rework the surrounding grade, and open the outlet path so runoff leaves the lot instead of sitting at cart corrals, curb returns, and storefront walks.
  • Industrial concrete repairs off Van Dyke: Heavy truck traffic exposes soft subgrade fast. We trace where water is entering under slabs, correct the drainage line that feeds the failure, and rebuild support around catch basins and joints so patch work does not keep breaking apart after the next storm.
  • ADA updates along 19 Mile Road: Property managers often need walk paths corrected because ponding has made slopes out of tolerance or created slick crossings. We adjust finish grade, tie in accessible routes, and move water away from pedestrian areas so compliance work also protects the pavement structure underneath.

D&J did a great job on our facility parking lot when we were in need of some asphalt catch basin repairs. They were professional, accommodating to our traffic needs, quick and thorough with the repairs, and back promptly after a week to retrieve their barriers. Their quote process was easy, and their pricing was incredibly reasonable for the work done. We are very pleased with D&J and recommend them highly.

D&J Contracting is a fantastic vendor. I manage a very large portfolio of retail stores and they are in my top 1% of all vendors. I give them my MOST enthusiastic recommendation. They care, they provide the best quality and customer service out there. Always go above and beyond and even take on special projects that are outside their main scope of work when I'm in a pinch. No job is too big or too small for them!

Nothings but professionalism, everything done as requested and on time.
My project involved multiple services and pulling permits and I had several quotes and most companies don’t offer multiple services or don’t pull permits and you have to do it yourself.
D & J is the only company who takes care of city permits and takes care of all the services you need from start to finish. They also update you on everything, keep you in a loop and confirms everything with you.
In our specific case we needed a curb cut, driveway leveled and parking lot sealed and coated so low sports vehicles can safely pull in without scraping the bottom and D & J did it so well you can pull in even on skateboard now.
Highly recommend D & J, top quality, smooth process.

D&J was one of several companies I contacted for a quote to pave my 100’ driveway in May/June of 2021. They delivered a competitive quote, and I was further impressed by their professionalism and quick correspondence. After I hired D&J for the job, they came out to my residence within two weeks and paved my driveway in a single day. The driveway looks fantastic! The crew who paved it was friendly and quick-working, and the driveway is perfectly flat and slopes toward the road so there is no significant puddling (the attached photo is moments after a hard rain). It has been about four months since installation, and the driveway still looks impeccable. I was also contacted by D&J after the work was completed to ensure I was completely satisfied. I’ve had the misfortune of dealing with several subpar contractors in the construction industry in the recent past—but D&J is an exception to the rule. They were competitive, responsive, professional, and focused on quality and customer satisfaction. I was left very impressed. I have some future site work planned for my property, and I will absolutely be contacting D&J again.

Our team handles the paperwork with the Clinton Township Building Department, pulls the required Dumpster and ROW permits through https://twpofclinton.com/permits-and-forms, and files the Miss Dig request at https://www.missdig811.org/ so underground utilities get marked before any machine opens the ground. That keeps the job organized, reduces delay risk, and lets you stay focused on your property while we manage the steps that protect the site and keep the drainage work moving.

Frequently Asked Questions about Site Drainage in Clinton Township


When should we schedule drainage work?

Spring and late summer usually give the clearest read on ponding, soft shoulders, and where water is getting back into the lot. That timing lets us correct the grade before freeze thaw turns a small drainage issue into a larger base repair in Clinton Township.

How do you keep our business open during the project?

We phase the work so trucks, customers, and employees still have a clear path in and out. On most commercial sites, that means short work zones, planned access points, and finish grading that keeps the active areas usable each day.

How do you prevent winter weather damage?

We focus on moving water off the site before it can freeze in low spots or soak into the base. Clean outlet paths, proper slope, and firm subgrade support cut down on frost heave, edge breakup, and spring settlement across Macomb properties.
