Grated Channel Drains
Protect Properties With Grated Channel Drains
Getting Surface Water? Not on Our Watch
Grated channel drains are elongated drainage systems embedded in the ground and covered with a grate to allow the water to flow into the channel drain to be diverted. Such systems are often put inside basement doorways to prevent water from flowing through the basement entrance door into the basement. Grated channel drains are also often used at the base of a hill where water flowing down the hill flows through the grates and is diverted to a dry well. Channel drains are a great way to control excess surface water.
