What Is a Trench Drain?
A trench drain, also known as a strip drain or linear drain, has an underground channel placed outside on the ground or inside commercial facilities and industrial sites. It is covered with a grate and runs alongside paved areas and structures without impeding vehicles or pedestrians, and is used to divert water away from buildings, parking lots, and driveways. You’ve likely walked by trench drains but never even noticed.
The grate allows rainwater and snow melt to quickly infiltrate the system while keeping debris out. The water that’s collected is diverted to another location where it can more easily seep into the ground. This drainage solution operates much like a French drain installation but with a little more visibility on the surface. A French drain is a subsurface drainage system that deals with groundwater, while a trench drain operates at ground level to capture rainfall and runoff.
Our experienced crew carefully considers which drainage system will best serve the client and where it will be most effective. We start with a free consultation to discuss your concerns, goals for the project, and whether a trench drain is the best choice. To help you better understand what this investment entails, a general overview of the process is as follows:
- Identifying the ideal spot for one or more drains on the customer’s property
- Excavating the channel (it typically measures 1 to 2 inches wide and 4 feet deep
- Covering the channel with a grate that sits flush with the ground
The Dry Tech Waterproofing Solutions team working on your project will keep you informed throughout the process. This includes recommending additional solutions for managing excess water and ensuring the longevity of the systems in place. Our Better Business Bureau (BBB)-accredited company also offers financing with 0% interest, making it easier for our customers to invest in the innovative solutions their property needs.
Benefits of Installing a Trench Drain
Installing a trench drain is advantageous for several reasons. Poor drainage can arise due to soil impermeability, yard slope, and other factors. These systems installed by our team collect and release surface water so that you can avoid the following issues:
- Basement flooding: Rerouting water on the surface can help prevent it from infiltrating your basement and damaging your belongings.
- Soil erosion: A good drainage system can help prevent landscape erosion, which occurs due to water runoff.
- Soggy lawn areas: Preventing pooling water helps you cultivate a healthy landscape or garden, limit mosquitoes, and create an outdoor living area that serves your family well.
- Foundation problems: Good yard drainage is necessary for preventing excess water from damaging your building’s foundation over time.
- Mold growth: More moisture increases the risk of mold growth inside and outside your building, leading to damage, decay, and necessary mold remediation
