There are so many kinds of ways that a storm water system can fail. Much of them are caused by age, improper installation, or natural disaster. It could also be something as simple as a clog upstream that you couldn't prevent, but you just won't know until you have a professional take a look.

Corrugated Metal Pipe
Corrugated metal pipe or CMP Is the culprit in much of the repair work we do. It has been installed in massive quantities over the last 50 years. In most cases, its lifespan is only 25 years. Some conditions, where live water is flowing through the pipe, this can be shortened even further. Over time this pipe will literally rest away as you see in the photo, taking in the soil around it, causing a failure.
Headwalls
In most cases, the head wall itself is never the problem. These structures are always the inlets or the outlets on a system. However, they become common failure points for a few reasons. Typically, the areas around them are not reinforced with rip rap or concrete. In other cases, like the one below, the seal was not grouted between the pipe and the head wall, causing soil to erode around the structure.
Concrete pipe
Unlike corrugated metal pipe, most of the time concrete pipe doesn't erode away. 9 times out of 10, it's due to erosion of the soils around it. Sometimes by gaps in the pipe, or at the inlet of outlet, soil will be washed away eventually compromising the structure.
