LEVEL SPREADER
Level Spreader Installation and Service for Philadelphia Properties
Stormwater runoff left unmanaged can cause erosion, property damage, and costly violations. Our Philadelphia-based team specializes in designing, building, and maintaining level spreaders that slow water flow and protect both your property and the environment. We handle every step in-house, giving you a single, reliable source for compliance and performance.
Overview
Precision Stormwater Control with Level Spreaders
Effective stormwater management is about controlling how water moves across your property. In Philadelphia and surrounding communities, level spreaders are one of the most reliable tools for slowing runoff and distributing it evenly over a wide area. Our team designs, installs, and maintains these systems with precision so they work seamlessly with your site’s layout and local environmental conditions.

What Is A Level Spreader?
A level spreader is a stormwater control feature that slows water flow and spreads it evenly along a wide outlet, allowing it to infiltrate naturally into the ground. Built with durable materials and proper grading, it turns concentrated runoff into gentle sheet flow, protecting your property and the surrounding environment.
Why Level Spreader Matter
Without a properly designed level spreader, fast-moving runoff can carve through landscapes, damage infrastructure, and overwhelm downstream systems. In Philadelphia, this can also trigger costly compliance issues with local regulations. A level spreader controls the flow before it becomes a problem, helping you avoid repairs, reduce maintenance costs, and keep your property in top condition year-round.
The Lasting Advantages of a Well-Designed Level Spreader
A level spreader safeguards your property from erosion damage while helping to improve water quality in local waterways. By transforming concentrated runoff into gentle sheet flow, it supports healthy vegetation, reduces sediment transport, and keeps your site stable.
Benefits Include:
- Slows stormwater flow to prevent erosion and property damage
- Reduces risk of costly regulatory violations in Philadelphia
- Distributes water evenly to protect soil and landscaping
- Improves water quality by promoting natural infiltration
- Extends lifespan of surrounding stormwater infrastructure

How Level Spreaders Fit into a Complete Stormwater Plan
Level spreaders play a critical role in slowing stormwater runoff before it can cause erosion, damage, or flooding. By evenly distributing water over a wide area, they help protect soil stability, reduce sediment movement, and improve water quality for downstream systems.
When combined with other stormwater infrastructure like bioretention basins, swales, and infiltration trenches, level spreaders form part of a balanced, long-term solution. This integrated approach keeps properties in Philadelphia compliant while safeguarding the surrounding environment.
Common Questions About Level Spreaders
How do I know if my property needs a level spreader?
Signs that your property may need a level spreader include visible soil erosion, muddy runoff after rain, or pooling water in certain areas. Even if these issues are not yet severe, unchecked runoff can quickly lead to regulatory violations or property damage in the Philadelphia area. Level spreaders act as a buffer, converting concentrated flow into gentle sheet flow that promotes infiltration and protects the surrounding environment. We can assess your site and recommend the right design and placement to ensure long-term performance.
How long does a level spreader last?
With proper design, quality construction, and regular maintenance, a level spreader can last decades. The key to longevity is ensuring the structure is built with durable materials, properly graded, and protected from damage caused by heavy equipment or excessive sediment buildup. In Philadelphia’s climate, freeze-thaw cycles and heavy storms make professional construction even more important. We not only build level spreaders to last but also offer ongoing inspections to ensure they continue performing effectively year after year.
Can a level spreader help me reduce stormwater fees?
Yes. In Philadelphia, the Water Department offers credit programs for properties that implement approved stormwater control measures. A properly designed level spreader can improve water infiltration, reduce runoff, and contribute toward earning these credits. While the spreader alone may not be enough to qualify, it often works as part of a larger system that does. We can evaluate your property, design an integrated solution, and handle the paperwork to maximize your potential savings.
What happens if my level spreader fails?
When a level spreader stops working properly, it puts your property at risk for erosion, flooding, and compliance issues. Causes can include sediment clogging, vegetation overgrowth, or physical damage to the outlet. We diagnose and repair the issue promptly, ensuring your property remains protected.
Can a level spreader be installed on any type of property?
Level spreaders can be installed on a wide range of properties, from commercial developments to municipal grounds and residential communities. The key is having a suitable location with proper grading to allow for even water distribution. Our team handles the entire process from site assessment to permitting and installation.
How does a level spreader improve water quality?
Level spreaders transform high-velocity runoff into slow, even sheet flow, giving the soil and vegetation time to filter pollutants. This reduces the amount of sediment, oil, and debris that enter nearby water bodies.
Do level spreaders work in winter?
Yes, but their performance can be affected by freezing temperatures and snowmelt patterns. We design level spreaders to handle winter runoff, including proper grading to prevent ice buildup and materials that can withstand freeze-thaw cycles. Regular winter inspections help ensure they continue to function as intended.
