Patios & Sidewalks

Walkway Drainage

Prevent water from pooling in low spots with trench drain systems installed. 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 a backyard patio slopes toward the house foundation: storm water has nowhere to go but to the place between the patio and the foundation wall. If there is a seam along that

contact edge, 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.
