Deep and surface water drainage systems

To address the problem of diversion of water from the deep and superficial drainage is used. Develop drainage system stands up to the start of construction.This is especially true of wall drainage, which should be laid below the level of the foundation. What if the plot was purchased with a ready House, and his previous owners did not take on the construction of a drainage system? Either put up with the transformation of the area into a small swamp appeared each spring or after a rain, or solve the problem of radically-arrangement of drainage.

surface water drainage systems of the country site

Often under the construction of country towns are land not suitable for agricultural purposes. Accommodation at such a site can be a real problem if you don’t take care of the draining. The lack of effective drainage is excessive dampness, moisture build-up, destruction of plants, flooding basements, House foundations, mold and fungus in the House. Not the most attractive picture.

Feasibility of construction of a drainage system is based on hydro-geological surveys on the site. Survey was not conducted? You can get by on their own. Signs of high water table are a thicket Sedge, the predominance of birch and willow in the nearby forest, a green plaque on the walls of the wells. The easiest way to determine whether you need to develop is the fulfillment of a small drainage holes at the site. The faster it will be filled with water, the higher the level of ground waters. The plot is located in the Valley? Drainage is necessary.

Despite the existence of natural signs of the high water table, the better to survey the area. Specialists are able to not only determine the type of soil and ground water level, but also provide useful advice on planting plants, construction of artificial reservoirs, etc. on some sites is enough to equip a small drainage, some without carefully developed effective drainage risk becoming submerged in the swamp.

Deep surface water drainage systems

Deep drainage around the home is assembled from specially perforated pipes with diameter 50-200 mm. Drains are placed beneath the ground and can not only give excessive moisture, but also to lower the groundwater level. You can perform the installation of the system itself, but the project only a specialist.

drainage pipes are laid in trenches dug at a slight slope to ensure gravity flow in drains. Bottom of the trench is filled with sand and blanketed with geotextile. The geotextile must also wrap up the chimney to protect from siltation and clogging of the holes. Pipe on all sides is filled up with rubble. Drains are placed so that water flowed into them with a single point of the watershed. It could be the drain water well, water well, manifold pipe, and so on from the drain well water can be disposed of in sewer network or ditch outside the station and into the deeper layers of the soil. In this case the well is deep, but are without bottom to allow water to drain freely.

Any drainage system in the course of its lifetime, clogs and silting. Despite the fact that the plastic pipe is resistant to this process, it does not mean that they do not require regular washing. Flush drains necessary once every 5 – 10 years.

surface water drainage systems

Surface drainage at the suburban site presents storm water systems – a point or line. These types differ from one another structurally. To be most effective is better to use them together. Spot drainage system is installed in a place where water is collected continuously. Such places are the points catchment under roof gutters, as well as the surface of the soil under irrigated cranes. In these places are set gullies with sand trap. Baffles or steel or cast iron, they are connected to the storm sewer line. Linear drainage settling of concrete or plastic gutters-runs, in which the accumulated precipitation. Linear tracks embedded in the blind area home, installed along the tracks. Collection container mounted special containers, which must be cleaned periodically.
