3 types of Drainage Systems That You Can Choose For Your Property

April 21, 2010 - PRLog -- No one wants to have a draining emergency and the best is to choose an Auckland Plumber before you experience it. Unfortunately, what happens is that most people facing an emergency have very little time to research a service of it. It is imperative to look for help when your toilet springs a leak or the basement ceiling is wet from a broken pipe or your garden is all upside down.

Drainage is of three types

1.   Surface or Open Ditch: The soil is excavated using a shovel to make shallow ditches. Dig the ditch atleast 12" deep and 12” wide. A slope is created so that the water is able to flow. To have a puddle, the elevation of the excavation is adjusted to create a slope.

2.   Sub surface or Pipe: The pipes are laid down deeply underneath the soil. It would be a less trouble in future if the pipe diameter is 12' or larger. A deep open drain also qualifies for it. The location is at the same level at the root zone. The root zone is deep under the soil or embankment.

3.   Gravel Trench: This is the idea that won't fetch beauty for your backyard. But if you want it to be unseen then you can fill it with gravel and on top of it spread soil and plant grass. The problem is that it might get clogged easily.

Your drainage system is vital to comfortable and safe home living. So keep it in a perfect condition.
