Rain and meltwater collection and drainage is no longer an optional “option” in the engineering equipment of each individual plot. But rather a requirement. Another example is the wide range of domestic and foreign producers who have entered the market to sell excess water surface drainage of equipment.
System Of Drainage
The site’s drainage
When a person buys a country house, he or she gains the ability to expand the bounds of his or her own living space beyond the interior. A well-equipped area close to the house can perform a variety of useful functions.
It allows owners to enjoy nature in isolation or with loved ones, perform sports. And provide a safe and varied outdoor activity for children and dogs, among other things. All of these pleasures of suburban life will be inaccessible during the autumn poor weather or the spring thaw for a select few.
Excessive moisture on the site poses a threat not only to temporary inconveniences and restrictions on evening exercise in your favorite garden, but also to serious material losses: lawn damage, plant death, foundation, landscape, and engineering equipment service life reduction, and basement flooding.
Surface drainage is divided into two types: point and linear. Linear drainage is used to manage the collection of atmospheric precipitation from a vast area. While point drainage is used to gather local water sources. The most logical combination of these two techniques is one that reduces the length of storm sewer canals. While also reducing the amount of earthwork.
Drainage At A Single Point
The point principle of drainage is used to collect rain and meltwater locally. Beneath roof gutters, indoor pits, under watering taps, and other locations where local water collection is necessary, point drainage devices are installed.
A point catchment system can also be used to supplement a linear drainage system in areas where quick and effective surface drainage is required (on paths, entrances, areas in front of the house, on terraces and balconies, etc.).
The following devices are used to organize point drainage:
- inlets for stormwater;
- systems of drainage;
- Storm flaps;
- ladders
The issue of removing atmospheric precipitation from building roofs should be solved in conjunction with the organization of collecting water flowing down drainpipes. To improve the service life of foundations and blind parts of buildings, as well as to prevent flooding of basements.
Several manufacturers offer a complete line of products for organizing roof drainage and subsequent water drainage into storm sewers.
A rectangular container with outlets for connecting to the storm sewer is the stormwater intake (drainage drain). Because small debris and liquid filth enter the stormwater intake with the flow of water, systems with built-in waste collection baskets are recommended.
You can stack stormwater inlets on top of each other to raise their height if necessary.
Protective and decorative grilles are used to close gutters and sand traps from above. The gratings keep trash and leave out of the system while also ensuring pedestrian and vehicle safety. The linear drainage system is connected to the storm sewer via a set of vertical and horizontal outlets.
Drainage In A Straight Line
A linear drainage device, unlike a point drainage system, does not require extensive surface preparation; simply creates level slopes on both sides of the drain line. As a result, there is less chance of soil subsidence, the length of storm sewer canals is shorter, and the catchment area is larger. Water is collected and channeled into a system of lined drainage channels along level slopes.
Linear drainage on the site ensures that the area is protected from dirt and slush.
A linear drainage system is made up of subterranean gutters (drainage channels, gutters) and sand traps (containers that catch sand and other tiny material carried by water flow).

Plastic Or Concrete?
For a long time, concrete has been the standard material for gutter construction. Traditional cementitious concrete has a number of drawbacks that are well-known among experts in the field.
