When water is not draining properly in landscaped areas and ponding water occurs, a drainage system is typically the solution to help remove the water. Traditionally, a pipe and stone system is used to help remove the water. This system may work but have many limitations:
-
Limited Collection Capacity - Pipe can only collect water through the perforations and slits around the pipe (~ 5% open space). When a pipe sock is added, the perforations become even less open due to the fabric cover.
- Material Costs - Though materials are fairly inexpensive, transport cost of stone for this system can be costly as well as hauling away excavated soil.
- Labor Intensive - Extensive excavation is reqired and skilled labor and/or supervision may be required to ensure correct installation.

drain is used where a water collection system is needed or full area drainage coverage is not necessary or practical. It can replace traditional pipe and stone for drainage collection systems.

| drains are designed to collect subsurface water more efficiently thana traditional pipe and stone system. The dimpled core creates a drainage path with more than enough flow area to handle water collected from the soil. The geotextile fabric creates a filter to allow water to enter into the core and restrict soil fines from entering the drainage core. |

More Open Area - SITEDRAIN Strip drain offer more than a 70% open space for water collection versus pipe which has only 3% open space.

| |
- Strip drains require less equipment to install and there is no hauling or transport cost for materials. |
| |
|
| |
- Strip Drain is lightweight, easy to work with and requires no slope to move water. Only a 2-4 inch trench is required to install.
