Patios & Sidewalks

Walkway Drainage

Prevent water from pooling in low areas by redirecting water to a trench drain system. Water usually pools at the base of steps when the sidewalk is sloped toward the step, leaving no place for the water to drain. This also happens when concrete patios settle over time and slopes toward the house's foundation: stormwater is then forced to go to the place between the patio and the foundation wall. A trench drain would help alleviate the excess water to hinder it from finding cracks where water will most likely seep along the basement wall and damage the foundation.

By installing a trench drain along the base of the wall or step, you provide a conduit to redirect water to a more suitable location.

Standard trench drains use removable 3” to 6” grates. Drains can be deceptively effective so you shouldn’t need a wider drain for this application.
