Different Types of Drains
- Curtain Drain
- Filter Drain
- Dispersal Drain
- Collector Drain
- Interceptor Drain
Most drain maintenance is predicated on the type of drainage system. There are variations of the French Drain model. The curtain drain uses a perforated pipe that is surrounded by gravel and covered by earth. Turf or other vegetation can be placed into the planting medium to aid in its protection. The is a filter drain is a one that is used to drain the ground water. This is to help prevent water from building up near the foundation of your home. These are very important in protecting your home from possible flooding.
A dispersal drain distributes the waste water from a septic tank and a fin drain uses a pipe fit with a thin, vertical section, or a "fin," of drainage composite above. Then there is the collector drain and interceptor drain. Both of these drains combine groundwater drainage with the interception of surface water or run-off. Also, they can easily connect into the underground pipes and quickly move surface water. However, this drains needs a cleanable filter to work properly, otherwise you risk sending surface debris, which can clog the pipes.
