How To Determine The Best Solution for Your Drainage Problem

How do you decide what type of drain is most appropriate to manage water on your property? There are some calculations that go into determining the size and slope of the drain system that will work best. The drainage professionals at J Landscaping have over 9 years of experience with helping customers choose a drain.

First, we will inspect your property to determine how much water will need to be drained, and the source of water problems. Channel drains are excellent for keeping water from flowing into your garage, basement, or parking lot. Submersible pumps serve to remove water from below the ground. We will measure the amount of runoff and the slope of the surface.

From there, J Landscaping will determine the best drainage solution to manage your runoff water and keep your property dry. We'll choose a grate that can handle the flow capacity for your project to be sure that the proper drainage system will be installed to manage your runoff.

Trench Drains and Channel Drains

While French drains and submersible pumps deal with water issues that are below the surface, trench drains divert water away from a surface. Trench drains, also known as channel drains, are lined with concrete and are designed to slope away from buildings to divert the water. Trench drains are often used to manage excessive rainwater, especially where there is minimal absorption into the ground, such as around pool decks, parking lots, and driveways. This is also the case if you are using an artificial lawn. There are also many applications for trench drains for commercial properties and they even work well in multi-level structures.

J Landscaping’s Process for French Drain Installation

When you call J Landscaping to install a drainage system on your property, you’ll be working with true landscaping professionals. We’ll schedule a convenient time to meet with you onsite and determine the unique needs of your property. After you decide to move forward with a  J Landscaping contractor, we’ll take the following steps to install a French drain on your property:

• First, a trench will be dug in the ideal location to relocate water
• It will be positioned horizontally to the water source, whether a hill or higher ground
• Within the channel, a tubular draining system will be placed, which is water permeable.
• Small stones are placed inside the tube for water to flow through
• Once placed, the drains are covered with a grate and turf

What Are Submersible Pumps and How Do They Work?

Submersible pumps are simple machines that are often used to remove excess or standing water from flooded yards and basements. These pumps use pressurized energy to push water from below the ground up to the surface, where it can be properly diverted away from buildings and other structures. J Landscaping specializes in installing submersible pumps in our arsenal of drainage solutions. Call (781) 650-5239 to learn more.
