Flooded roads don’t have to put your travels to a stop. Reliable Contracting repairs roads!
In 2025, Maryland is seeing some significant thunderstorms. Some years have severe heat and dry spells, and others have torrential downpours. You never know what you might expect in Maryland! At the same time, this area has plenty of creeks and low areas that are at risk of flooding even after a single heavy rainfall event. Reliable Contracting, the largest asphalt contractor in Anne Arundel County, is here to provide professional road repairs after flooding.
Main Types of Road Repairs
Fixing Cracks and Potholes
If you are merely interested in fixing existing road damage, the most likely kinds of damage you will see are asphalt cracks and potholes. Heavy rainfall can break down the road, especially if cracks were already present. Reliable Contracting can fill those cracks and patch those potholes.
Restoring Washed Out or Sunken Areas
If the flooding has in any way washed out a part of the pavement or caused it to sink, a professional asphalt company can also remediate those issues. It may be possible to save the rest of the pavement if it is still in good condition while fixing the damaged section.
Road Repairs for Flood Prevention
Raising the Road Bed
In other cases, constant repairs may make it clear that reconstructing the flooded road entirely is the more cost-effective option. If a part of the road constantly floods, raising the road bed is a great option. The contractor may decide that building up the soil and elevating the road foundation is best.
Installing a Culvert
If water flows around the road, adding a culvert under that section of the road could also help avoid future road repairs due to flooding. Water can easily travel under the road rather than being forced to flow over it.
Creating Flood Barriers for Erosion Control
Erosion control measures could be necessary to prevent local waterways from rising over the road. Rip rap, sandbags, detention ponds, and bioswales are just a few flooding and erosion prevention devices contractors can use to keep roadways safe.
Whether you have a private, commercial, or municipal roadway to fix after flooding, Reliable Contracting can help you determine the best and most cost-effective course of action in Maryland.
