Approaching the issue of drainage and making a decision to carry out drainage work on your site. In this article I will tell you existing types and variants of the drainage trench. There are many options for arranging the “summer resident” based on the personal experience of inheritance or the construction and professional approach, taking into account previous experiments and experiments in drainage systems. Over the past centuries, people have developed violently and moved from clay pipes to metal -plastic, plastic with a geo -toned winding. A little later we will tell you about such an impressed “grandfather method” of the arrangement of the trench for drainage. Do drainage yourself or turn to specializing firms in this field to decide. When contacting firms, do not “peck” on cheapness. The promised chic trench for drainage for inexpensive can fail quite quickly due to the use of low-quality materials and low quality work. And the question about drainage will again be on the agenda.
Consider several options for a drainage trench:
Option No. 1. Very simple and most common.
This is the “grandfather’s method” that was mentioned above, this is how our ancestors did, and to this day this option is quite popular in connection with its simplicity and profitable in costs. There are no difficulties at all: in a dug trench we fall asleep cobblestones, broken brick or crushed stone in general what was at hand. Trench height of at least seventy centimeters, if possible, height can be brought to one meter. Depending on the swampy on the site. The main drawback of this method is its durability. Effective functional properties of such a trench will work up to five years. Small particles of the soil over time sill all the free space between the stones, which in turn leads to the failure of the drainage system.
Option No. 2. This is an improved way of the first option.
New technological solutions and technologies of the materials used increased the durability of this method several times. The material falling asleep into the trench, whether it is crushed stone or gravel, turns out to be a special canvas of the so -called “geotkan”, with its help the hit of other small particles into the space between the embankment, that is, stones, which increases durability. This is a rather practical option for the efficiency of collecting water and the arrangement of drainage.
Dig a trench with your own hand is quite difficult. It is better to resort to help to tracked mines and excavators for help.
