Here are the basics of every quality drainage system installed by Bill’s Custom Concrete, Inc.
- Maximum amount of slope of the drain pipes to help prevent clogging and to help the water drain quickly.
- Use PVC. pipes instead of flex pipe in order to help prevent clogging of the pipe.
- Glue the pipes and the fittings in order to help keep them from separating due to the ground shifting.
- Always use extra drains so as to provide for a backup system in case one drain is covered up with leaves or debris.
- For subsurface drainage, use a filter cloth to prevent clogging of the system with soil.
- For subsurface drainage, install a clean-out so that the system can be flushed out now and then to keep from clogging the system.
- Try to contour the slope of the ground to flow the water to area surface drains.
- Design the drainage system so as to prevent excess saturation of the ground around the house foundation as well as to alleviate excess puddling of water in the yard.
