Drainage
If you suffer from water accumulation near the foundation of your house.
Or suffer from erosion, especially during the rainy season,
we can help!
But first let’s .Understanding the Types of Drainage Systems!!
Which is the right one for you?
Surface Drainage System
Surface drainage systems remove excess water from the land’s surface through channels or ditches. In some cases, the ground surface is shaped or graded to create sloping toward the channels. Different types of surfaces drainage systems are open drains, humps and hollows, levees, and 2 grassed waterways. A cast-in-place trench drain is a perfect example of a surface drainage system.
Subsurface Drainage System
Subsurface drainage systems are implemented beneath the top layer of soil. Sometimes referred to as a French drain, they work at the root level to remove excess water. Dig ditches to install the pipes of subsurface drains. SAFE-FER Landscaping sells a variety of subsurface drainage solution options based on the needs and the location of where the drain would be placed.
Slope Drainage System
Slope drainage systems are built to allow water to flow from a structure in a downward direction. It is done with the aid of pipes that move down through the slope. Since the installed pipe is anchored to an incline, it guides the water through the pipe to get it swiftly away from the structure.
Downspouts and Gutter Systems
Downspouts and gutter systems are a structure’s first defense against over-saturation from stormwater. They are often drained into an aluminum extension, buried drainpipe, rain barrel, or other solution. The purpose is to move water away and route water to other drainage systems on the street or sidewalk. Sometimes they are even connected to an underground sewer line using gutter drains or “underground drains”.
Pump station!
What is a Pump Station?
A pump station moves water (often rainwater) from a lower elevation to a higher one. Pump stations are often used in water drainage systems.
How It works
They use the same basic technique as lift stations. The water flows into the tank from a pipe; the tank fills up; it reaches a certain level, then pumps shoot it up and out of the tank.
Key facts
Pump stations don’t contain the heavy-duty grinder pumps needed to break down sewage. That’s why it’s important not to confuse them with lift stations—while they’re similar, they can’t handle the same material.
These stations don’t operate as frequently (since weather events often trigger them). As a result, some internal parts can wear down and go unnoticed. That’s why maintenance is vital.
In understanding the types of drainage systems, you’ll see that often multiple types work together to remove water and guide it to an appropriate place. The faster water is removed from a structure or area in which pooling can occur, the better. Drainage systems are an essential part of water conservation and preservation that people rarely think about.
