Types of Drainage Solutions We Provide
When you have the right commercial drainage system in place, you can be confident that your property is being protected from potential water damage.
There are many types of drainage systems out there that help direct water flow to the appropriate places, but you might be confused about what one to use for your property. Let’s look at a few options.
Ground and Land Drainage
Drainage systems allow water to flow freely from the ground, helping to maximize land use. A drainage contractor can help with above-ground drainage systems or in-ground drainage that is below ground level using pipes and fittings.
Backyard and Lawn Drainage
Even if you are proactive about excavation, there are potential low spots that can gather water. We can help by adjusting the yard’s slope to ensure the water is moving away from your home or building. Or, if it’s a big low spot, then it might make sense to put in an underground drainage system, so the standing water doesn’t damage your landscaping and lawn.
Rain Water Drainage
When the rain starts pouring, have the peace of mind of knowing that the water runoff isn’t going to damage your home or building. These systems use gutters to move the water from the roof into the groundwater drainage system. Not only can a drainage contractor help install the rainwater drainage, but it’s also important to be proactive about checking and maintaining the system to minimize blockages from debris.
Driveway Drainage
Does the water flow away from your house or building and down to the street? Good drainage not only protects your home but also minimizes the risk of dangerous ice spots during the winter months.
Seepage Pit Installation
A seepage pit involves a lined hole in the ground designed to collect water. This type of drainage system disperses the water so it can absorb slowly into the soil.
Standing Water Drainage
When there are non-porous or low spots in the yard, it results in standing water. Hiring a drainage contractor to add a drainage system can solve this problem.
Trench Drains
Trench drain systems are surface drainage techniques that can help water navigate away from your building using concrete channels or ditch-like areas. Spaces like warehouses and parking lots utilize trench drain setups frequently. There are several appealing and decorative options you can choose from, making the look much more desirable.
Land Grading
If your land isn’t graded correctly, then you could be fighting a battle that you can’t win. Fixing the grading of your property so that water flows away instead of towards it can be the solution you need. It sounds simple but it might require replacing landscaping and even hardscaping areas once it’s done.
What Causes Drainage Problems?
Drainage systems are utilized to direct water away from your home or building. This excess water commonly needs to be drained from rain and snow, sometimes landscape watering (including broken sprinklers), and, depending on your line of work, water from cleaning equipment or vehicles nearby. Where will the water all go when you don’t have a proper drainage system in place? The path of least resistance, which is often the path you don’t want it to go.
How to Find the Cause of Your Drainage Problems
The first step is to identify the root cause. Anyone can clear away the surface water, but the problem will keep coming back if you don’t get to the main issues.
Speak with a drainage contractor, such as Mikula Contracting, to inspect the slope drainage systems and evaluate the way the water is moving. After we complete the inspection, we put together a customized plan to solve the issues and prevent problems in the future.
