Drainage & Water Management

Commercial Drainage Solutions in Arlington Heights, IL

Engineered drainage systems and water management for commercial properties across Arlington Heights. Northwest Cook County's snow patterns are consistent and heavy — Rand Road and Kensington Business Center lots see high pedestrian and vehicle volume even in bad weather. Medical and senior living properties require salting and clearing schedules timed around resident and patient movement, not just business hours. ALTAR diagnoses the source, designs the solution, and executes with our own equipment and crews.

What We Provide

Commercial Drainage Services in Arlington Heights

French Drain Systems

Engineered subsurface drainage systems that redirect groundwater away from foundations, hardscapes, and landscape areas before saturation occurs.

Surface & Subsurface Drainage

Comprehensive assessment and installation of both surface channels and subsurface pipe networks to move water efficiently off commercial properties.

Catch Basin Installation & Repair

New catch basin installation, frame-and-grate replacement, barrel repair, and sediment cleanout to restore proper inlet function.

Grading & Regrading

Precision grading to correct negative slopes, ponding areas, and drainage patterns that direct water toward structures or tenant spaces.

Routine inspection, sediment removal, outlet structure maintenance, and vegetation management for on-site stormwater management features.

Downspout & Gutter Extensions

Proper discharge routing for roof runoff — extending downspouts away from foundations and into appropriate drainage pathways.

Documentation, system mapping, and inspection support to help commercial properties meet municipal stormwater management requirements.

Local Context

Why Arlington Heights Properties Need Drainage Solutions

Arlington Heights is the commercial and retail center of northwest Cook County — Kensington Business Center, the Rand Road corridor, and a walkable downtown with dense Metra ridership make it one of the most diverse commercial markets in the suburbs. The high concentration of senior living and medical properties here means snow and ice removal carry genuine safety stakes.

Property types we serve: Large business park and flex office buildings, medical complexes and senior living facilities, Metra-adjacent retail and mixed-use, national retail strip centers, HOA and condominium communities

Weather & drainage note: Northwest Cook County's snow patterns are consistent and heavy — Rand Road and Kensington Business Center lots see high pedestrian and vehicle volume even in bad weather.

Why Choose ALTAR

Drainage Engineered and Executed by the Team That Maintains Your Property

We diagnose the root cause — not just the symptom. Every drainage engagement begins with a site assessment to understand water source, flow path, and failure point.

Own equipment, own operators — trenching, excavation, and grading executed by ALTAR crews, not subcontractors with unknown standards.

Integrated services — drainage correction coordinated with grading, site work, grounds maintenance, and exterior improvements in a single contract.

Compliance documentation provided — inspection records, system maps, and maintenance logs you can present to your municipality or insurer.

Before-and-after photo documentation on every project, delivered to your account manager and archived in your property file.

Commercial-grade materials throughout — HDPE pipe, precast structures, and professional-spec components rated for commercial loading.
