About Porous Pro
Specialists in Porous & Storm Water Management
Porous Pros LLC is a specialized pavement maintenance company dedicated exclusively to porous asphalt maintenance, permeable pavement cleaning, and stormwater performance preservation. We were founded to solve a growing industry problem: porous pavement systems that are installed correctly but fail prematurely due to improper or neglected maintenance.
Porous pavement is not conventional asphalt
It is engineered stormwater infrastructure. When properly maintained, it manages runoff, improves safety, and protects surrounding environments. When neglected, infiltration capacity drops, ponding and icing occur, and the pavement becomes a liability rather than an asset.
Led by industry veteran Tom Eosso, Porous Pros brings decades of real-world pavement experience into a highly specialized niche focused on long-term infiltration performance and system protection.
Core focus areas include:
Porous asphalt maintenance
Infiltration restoration
Permeable pavement vacuum sweeping
Stormwater pavement performance protection
THE PROBLEm
Why Porous Pavement Underperforms
Most porous pavement systems do not fail because of poor design. They fail because they are maintained like conventional asphalt.
Over time, fine sediments, organic debris, landscaping materials, and construction dust accumulate within the surface voids of porous pavement. As those voids clog, water can no longer infiltrate as designed. Surface ponding, freezing, and safety risks follow—often leading owners to believe the pavement system itself has failed.
Conventional sweeping, pressure washing, and improper winter practices frequently make the problem worse by forcing debris deeper into the pavement structure or damaging the surface.
Common symptoms of underperforming porous pavement include:
- Surface ponding after rain events
- Ice formation during winter months
- Reduced stormwater infiltration
- Premature pavement deterioration
- Increased liability and maintenance costs
THE SOLUTION
Purpose-Built Porous Pavement Maintenance
Porous Pros provides specialized porous pavement maintenance services designed specifically for porous and permeable asphalt systems—not adapted from traditional pavement practices.
Our approach centers on vacuum-based porous pavement cleaning and infiltration restoration, removing embedded debris while protecting the integrity of the pavement surface. The goal is not cosmetic improvement, but restoring and preserving infiltration performance.
Whether maintaining a newly installed system or addressing an underperforming surface, our services are designed to protect the original stormwater intent of the pavement.
Our solution delivers:
- Porous pavement vacuum sweeping
- Permeable pavement cleaning
- Infiltration restoration for clogged systems
- Long-term stormwater performance preservation
Our Process
A Performance-First Maintenance Strategy
Every porous pavement site is unique, but long-term success depends on informed, proactive care.
Our process begins with a site evaluation to understand surface conditions, drainage behavior, sediment sources, traffic patterns, and surrounding land use. Based on those findings, we determine the appropriate level of maintenance—routine cleaning or targeted restoration.
Specialized cleaning is then performed using equipment designed specifically for porous pavement. When appropriate, we work with owners and managers to establish an ongoing maintenance cadence that supports consistent performance year after year.
Our process includes:
Site observation and performance evaluation
Identification of sediment sources and risk areas
Targeted porous pavement cleaning or restoration
Development of long-term maintenance strategies

- Exclusive focus on porous pavement maintenance
- Deep understanding of stormwater infrastructure
- Purpose-built equipment and methods
- Long-term performance mindset
- Proven leadership and industry expertise
Do’s & Don’ts of Maintenance
Porous pavement must be maintained differently than conventional asphalt. Following best practices—and avoiding common mistakes—can mean the difference between long-term success and irreversible damage.
Do’s: Best Practices
- Treat porous pavement as engineered stormwater infrastructure
- Keep surfaces free of soil, mulch, sand, stone dust, and debris
- Use rubber or polyurethane cutting edges on plows
- Operate maintenance equipment at reduced speeds
- Use liquid deicers or reduced salt application rates
- Direct soil, snow, and debris away from porous pavement
- Report ponding, clogging, or surface damage immediately
Don’ts: Practices That Cause Damage
- Do not apply sand, screenings, stone dust, cinders, or grit
- Do not stockpile soil, mulch, or snow on porous pavement
- Do not use steel plow blades or aggressive scraping
- Do not allow tracked equipment on porous surfaces
- Do not pressure wash, sealcoat, or apply asphalt rejuvenators
- Do not blow landscaping debris onto porous pavement
