*'''Drainage Areas''': Impervious areas contributing to the permeable pavement should be regularly swept and kept clear of litter and debris.Flows from any landscaped areas should be diverted away from the pavement or at least be well stabilized with vegetation.

*'''Grid Pavers''': Paver or grid systems that have been planted with grass should be mowed regularly and the clippings should be removed. Water and fertilize as needed. .<ref name=manchester2002/>

*'''Seal Coating''': Seal coats should never be applied to permeable pavements. Current and future owners and operations staff must be aware of permeable pavement areas and the importance of not applying any sealants. Porous asphalt and pervious concrete look very similar to their impervious versions and could be inadvertently sealed over.

*'''Potholes''': For porous asphalt or pervious concrete, isolated potholes can be patched with standard patching mixes. Patching can continue until the structural integrity of the pavement has been compromised or stormwater can no longer drain to the aggregate base. Then the surface will need to be torn up and replaced.

*'''Uneven Pavers''': An uneven paver surface can be repaired by pulling up the pavers, redistributing the bedding layer, and then placing the pavers back. New filler stone will need to be swept into the replaced pavers. Typically the pavers are packed very tightly, and breaking one or more pavers will be necessary to pull up a group of pavers. Keeping a set of replacement pavers after construction will be useful for making future repairs.
