What are trench drains?

Trench drains, also known as channel drains, are a drainage system that utilises a continuous long trench to divert water away from problem areas. In this instance, we are referring to trench drains outside your property to divert stormwater runoff away from the building and lawns. However, trench drains are extremely versatile and can be utilised in commercial factories or restaurant kitchens as well as domestically. The trench, or channel, is covered by grates made of plastic, metal or precast concrete, which stops debris from entering and blocking it.

A properly installed and maintained channel drain solution allows water to flow freely away from gardens, driveways, paths and other areas ensuring  that it is perfectly set up in order to avoid any pooling of water or from being too low or too high. To get the best performance out of your drainage system, precision and accuracy are key. Our professional plumbers will perform a full analysis of your property to ascertain the correct placement and angle for your trench drain to be most effective.

Types of trench drains

• Cast-in-place - constructed using wood moulds to pour concrete trenches and is often labour intensive
• Former systems - polystyrene mould is used, as opposed to wood, to form the trench
• Pre-cast concrete - concrete trench is premade in a factory, ready for installation
• Linear systems - polymer concrete, fibreglass, structural plastic or steel channels are assembled in the trench and concrete is poured around it.

Why do I need a trench drain?

Waterlogging on your property can be easily solved with an effective drainage system. Installing a trench drain will:

• Redirect rain runoff away from your property
• Prevent water damage in your home or business
• Prevent structural damage
• Stop water pooling, which can lead to an infestation of mosquitoes
• Prevent soil erosion
• Prolong the lifespan of your driveway, pathways and pavers

From heavy downpours to serious storms, rainwater can have a major impact on your property. Without the right drainage management in place, flooding and soil erosion could be inevitable. But, with trench drains, water runoff is collected quickly and via a series of subsurface pipes, they quickly divert it away from your building and you’ll have reliable protection against any potential weather-related damage.
