Are you tired of dealing with flooding and water damage? As a homeowner, it’s important to select the best drainage systems for your driveway, garden, and patio. In this blog, we will share our recommendations for the most suitable residential drainage channels that are guaranteed to protect your home and provide peace of mind.
Should Every Home Have a Drainage System?
There are around 6.3 million homes and businesses at risk of flooding in the UK. This number is also set to rise over time which is just one of the reasons why residential properties should have their own drainage systems in place.
Water damage can cause costly structural issues for homes as well as destroying surrounding landscaped areas. There is also a chance that insurance companies won’t always cover damage if sufficient drainage solutions were not installed.
Installing drainage systems can also increase the value of a property, reduce the chance of water-related health risks, and protect landscaping. Learn more about the benefits of installing channel drains around your home.
Recommended Residential Drainage Systems
At Vodaland, we have made it easy for homeowners to select residential drainage systems thanks to our broad collection.
The first type of system you can select is a channel drain. These products can be fitted in any area to offer a way for pooling water to be removed. As the name suggests, channels can be attached to provide a route for water to be transported to a drain. The designs also boast grates on the top to prevent any debris from entering the channel. This prevents blockages to ensure residential properties are always protected from excess water.
To give you plenty of choice, our collection includes plastic, stainless steel, or galvanised steel grates. Each of these can be installed in any area around residential properties.
Another drainage solution ideal for homes is a soakaway system. These are large-volume units that can be fitted underneath gravel drives and landscape areas. The idea is that the system is installed in the ground in an accessible area. Drainage channels direct excess water into the unit, where it can disperse or be maintained as required. Similarly, you can also choose a catch basin or drainage gully. The difference with this type of system is that the basin connects to drains to provide a channel for liquid to be easily removed, which makes them ideal for both indoor and outdoor spaces, such as kitchens or patios.
Select the Best Residential Draining System with Ease
You should ask yourself the following questions when selecting a draining channel for your home:
● How much water will the channel need to remove?
● What areas of your property pose a flood risk?
● How do you plan on maintaining the system?
● What type of landscape and terrain will the channel need to be installed in?
