Channel Drain Installation 

What is a Channel Drain?

A channel drain, also called a trench drain, linear drain, or slot drain, is a simple yet effective way to redirect surface water away from areas prone to flooding. These long, narrow drains are covered with grates to allow water to flow through while preventing debris from clogging the system.

How It Works:

1. Uses gravity to guide water into a drainage system.
2. Prevents flooding, water pooling, and erosion.
3. Made from durable materials like concrete, plastic, polymer, or metal.
4. Can be customised to blend with your surroundings.

Installation Process

The installation process depends on several factors, including the size of the drain, location, ground conditions, and final water runoff area. Hard surfaces like concrete and asphalt require cutting before digging, while softer ground may need reinforcement to prevent shifting. The drain must also be correctly sloped and connected to a suitable runoff system like a soakaway or main drainage line.

Some people attempt DIY installation, but this carries risks. An incorrectly fitted drain can cause blockages, water pooling, or structural damage, leading to costly repairs. Professional installation ensures long-lasting, effective drainage.

Our Professional Installation Process:

1. Site Assessment – We determine the best placement, slope, and runoff connection.
2. Trench Digging – Cutting through surfaces if needed and excavating to the correct depth.
3. Base Preparation – Laying a solid foundation to support the drain.
4. Drain Installation – Positioning the drain at the correct gradient and securing sections.
5. Connection – Linking to the appropriate drainage system to ensure proper water flow.
6. Final Checks & Finishing – Backfilling, sealing, and testing for optimal performance.
