Drainage is used in waterlogged areas to drain them. The fact is that an excess of water in the soil can lead to such unpleasant consequences as damage to the foundation as a result of spring heaving, flooding of the basement, waterlogging, flushing of the fertile soil layer, etc. Therefore, drainage of the plots is really necessary.
In most cases, it involves the preliminary preparation of the project, since it is a complex engineering system.
There are two types of drainage - deep and surface. The second is used to drain melt and rainwater. The first is to lower the underground level. Drainage of sites in the event that it is superficial is carried out using modular elements. At the same time, a gutter is installed on the roof. Flowing down it, water enters the drainpipe. Sometimes instead of it, as a guide, a rope or chain is used. Next, the water enters the gutters, buried in the ground under a slope. Thus, it is displayed off-site or in drainage wells. In the latter case, the collected water can be used to irrigate garden beds.
Depth drainage is a much more complex design. This type of system is used to drain
groundwater from foundations, to reduce their level to prevent washing out of the roots of garden trees, etc. A draft of the site drainage is preliminarily drawn up. This takes into account the mass of various factors. Typically, the layout of the elements is assigned to draw up a specialist. When installing such a drainage structure, special corrugated pipes are used - drains that are buried in the soil at a certain depth and at a certain angle. Water passing through them enters the
catchment wells.
Despite the complexity of the device of such an engineering system, many would like to know how to do drainage on the site on their own. The easiest option is to dig trenches over the entire area, to a depth of about forty centimeters, and fill them with suitable material. This may be, for example, crushed stone or branches. The channels are arranged at an angle and usually lead to the central main, from where they then enter the well. In order for such a simple system to run smoothly, its
Clean from time to time. The branches will need to be replaced.
However, since the drainage of sites is a serious matter, it is better not to risk it and still turn to a professional. With the incorrect placement of the channels, you can, after spending a lot of effort, not get any result. In the most severe cases, ill-conceived measures (instead of draining the territory) can even lead to its flooding. Moreover, professionally performed drainage will work much more efficiently and will require much less maintenance.
Currently produced elements of such systems, made of modern materials and modern technologies. Such structures are very durable, work flawlessly for many years, as they do not collect garbage and are extremely effective in discharging water. Drainage of sites is an unusually important event, and its construction must be approached with all possible responsibility.
