What We Provide

Commercial Drainage Services in Joliet

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.

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

Stormwater Compliance Support

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

Local Context

Why Joliet Properties Need Drainage Solutions

Joliet is the logistics backbone of the Chicago metro — CenterPoint Intermodal Center is one of the largest inland ports in North America, and the I-80 / I-55 interchange hosts a dense cluster of distribution centers and last-mile fulfillment facilities that run 24/7. Snow and grounds services here are operationally critical, not cosmetic.

Property types we serve: Large-format distribution and fulfillment centers, intermodal logistics facilities, big-box retail and power centers, casino and entertainment properties, new residential and mixed-use developments

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.
