Trench Drains Explained

A trench drain is the perfect drainage solution for various applications, it is a surface-level drain installed where large volumes of water need to be redirected. Trench drains are ideal for areas prone to pooling water, such as driveways, patios, and around swimming pools and are suitable for residential and commercial use.

  • A trench drain is a shallow, linear channel made of materials like plastic, metal, or concrete. It has a narrow and open top that collects surface water and directs it into a pipe or outlet before it can cause flooding or erosion.
  • Trench drains are installed either at ground level or just below with a visible open grate or slot along the surface. They are more accessible for maintenance and cleaning.
  • Trench drains can handle large volumes of water. Therefore they are commonly used in areas subject to heavy rainfall where surface water management is essential. In commercial settings this can include parking lots, loading docks
