If you’re having storm-water drainage problems, porous asphalt paving is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective solution. People in New York, NY, and the nearby counties count on Grey-Ruso Construction's services to prevent the area’s frequent rain showers from turning their properties into unwanted swimming pools. 

Below, New York’s leading contractor shares four reasons to opt for porous asphalt paving:

1. Washes Away Harmful Toxins

The porous material drains water from the ground surface all the way down to the stone bed and then into the soil. During this process, harmful toxins and chemicals from rainwater also seep down through the stone bed, where they’re treated with the same methods used to clean water.     

2. Minimizes Wear & Tear 

The asphalt starts draining liquid on contact, so it won’t expand, contract, crack or form potholes from water damage. Because of its ability to handle rainwater, you can expect your parking lot, driveway or sidewalk to last for years to come. 

3. Saves Money

Standing water not only impacts your property, but it can also cause the area’s storm sewer system to overflow. If this happens, you could end up paying repair fees. Paving the area with porous asphalt will save you money in the long run. You’ll not only avoid local government fines but also eliminate the need for costly retention ponds and additional storm management systems.   

4. Easily Installed 

Porous asphalt doesn’t have any proprietary ingredients, so you’ll never have to worry about low supply if you need repairs down the line. You can manipulate the mixture easily, which makes it fairly simple to install.
