Drainage systems are vital to a residential or commercial property that has runoff issues. Runoff can impact parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, basements, and foundations. A properly installed system is vital protection when an influx of water occurs on your property.

What Are the Three Types of Drainage Systems?
Surface Drainage Systems
This system removes excess water from the property through a channel or ditch. Sometimes the ground is grated or shaped to create a slope. Types of these systems include grassed waterways, levees, hollow and hump, and open drains. A cast-in-place is an example of this system.
Subsurface Drainage Systems
A subsurface system is implemented below the topsoil layer. These systems are also referred to as French drains. They work at root level and remove excess moisture. Installation involves excavation of ditches for the subsurface drainpipes. Our company uses a variety of subsurface drainage options based on the location and need of a project.
Slope Drainage Systems
A slope system is built for flow from a structure downward. Pipes aid in moving water down through the slope. Because the installed pipe is on an incline, moisture is guided through the pipe to remove it quickly from the structure.
What Is the Most Common Drainage System?
There is no one system that is used universally. The most common systems are the drainage ditch, slope drains, downspouts, channel drains, and French drains. No matter how water arrives, systems divert water so there is no erosion around a foundation, standing water to attract pests, or leaks into a home.
- Catch Basins
Catch basins are an essential part of the systems. Their main purpose is to permit cleanout access points used to remove sediment and debris that has built up over time. They are crucial to keeping systems healthy. - Channel Drains
Channel drainage prevents water from getting in or out in a certain area, such as outside a garage, patio, or pool deck. They are set in a location and connected to a new or existing system to protect against flooding. - French Drains
French drains are an effective means of directing water from pathways, building foundations, and any other area that is flood prone. - Storm Drains
There are a variety of designs and sizes of storm drains for commercial and residential systems. The purpose of a storm drain is to drain heavy rainfall and flooding in areas that experience regular storms.
What Is a California Drain?
Homeowners in Sacramento and Napa Counties have prime pieces of real estate but must contend with unpredictable and extreme weather. Every day is not peaceful in spite of the beautiful weather. There is seismic activity and flash storms.
That is why homeowners need a suitable backyard drainage system to protect their property and landscaping plants. Knowing a drainage contractor is not a luxury. It is a necessity for Sacramento homeowners. Yard drainage installations and repairs are needed to ensure the home and property are healthy. At our company, we are up to date with California laws that protect the rights of our customers.
What Are the Two Types of Drainage Systems?
All of the above systems fit into one main category. The other is concrete precast form products that are manufactured to meet California standards. These products are designed for integration with any configuration and length to collect runoff and excess water.
They are reliable and strong parts that fit the needs of any project, contractor, engineer, or designer. A concrete drain resists chemicals, absorbs less water, has impeccable strength, and is less resistant to freezing temperatures and heat. Cast iron grates rest flush on the concrete to prevent damage. There is a model that has narrow slots for bicycle or pedestrian traffic. Fiberglass has also been found to be useful in some grating applications.
