DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

Drainage is the natural or artificial removal of surface water and sub-surface water from an area with excess water. Drainage is installed in retaining walls to ensure that groundwater flow that is obstructed during the building of the retaining wall doesn’t build up pressure and cause failure of the wall.

GUTTER DRAINS

WE CAN DIVERT THE WATER TAKING IT AWAY FROM THE STRUCTURE.

Many times if gutters are not diverted to carry the water away from the structure, water will build up at the base of the gutter and can cause erosion of the surrounding soil and could also allow the water to seep into an underground basement. By utilizing underground pipe, we can divert the water taking it away from the structure. The water exits from a simple pop-up escape into a natural area or onto the roadway which subsequently will flow into the storm drain system.

FOUNTAIN DRAINS

FOUNDATION DRAINS ARE INSTALLED AT OR BELOW THE FLOOR LEVEL OF THE STRUCTURE.

This usually means installing the drain below the basement floor level so that water is drained away before it can seep into the foundation wall. Foundation drains may drain by gravity or using mechanical means (sump pumps). Contact us today to schedule a meeting to discuss your free estimate on your project.

EROSION CONTROL

EFFECTIVE EROSION CONTROLS HANDLE SURFACE WATER RUNOFF.

Effective erosion controls handle surface water runoff and is an important technique in preventing water pollution, soil loss and human property loss. In urban areas erosion controls are often part of stormwater runoff management programs required by local governments. The controls often involve the creation of a physical barrier, such as vegetation or rock to absorb some of the water that is causing erosion issues. Erosion control can also involve installing drains to funnel water from one spot to another. In some cases, riprap or rock can be used to slow the movement of water down a hill to keep the water from undermining the structures below.
