Importance of Drainage Systems


Drainage systems are a very important part of the physical properties of soil. They retain and move water away from structures and land, which helps to prevent flooding, erosion and soil degradation.

Without proper drainage, areas can become swampy and flood-prone. Here are a few ways to improve your drainage system: swales and ditches, slot drains, curb cuts, catch basins, and downspouts and gutters.

Corrugated Plastic Tubes

A proper drainage system allows wastewater to flow freely away from the house and out of the yard. For this to happen, the pipes need to be made from a material that is durable enough to avoid clogs. Some of the most common pipe materials for underground drainage include corrugated plastic drain tubing, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes and solid white PVC pipes.

When using these types of tubes, it is important to use manufactured fittings at all junction points and for any change in direction where the radius of the centerline is less than three times the diameter of the tubing. This ensures that the line is properly sealed and will not leak or contaminate soil.

Another advantage of using these types of plastic pipe is that they are clear and can be easily monitored for any debris that may be blocking the line. They also work well in most soil conditions. However, the length of a drain should be kept below the depth of frost to obtain an optimum year-round drainage system.

In addition, it is a good idea to keep the lateral drains as far from the home as possible, to prevent the build-up of water around foundation walls. While this is not always possible, it can reduce the amount of time that needs to be spent on maintenance.
