This year CMG has addressed many
standing water problems and
drainage issues for residents and business owners of
Oklahoma. On one occasion, we installed a
Surface Drain in the middle of a driveway.
After a rain, water was standing in front of the garage and would flow
under the door when it got too deep. We cut the driveway, Installed the
Surface Drain, and replaced the cement. Problem Solved.
CMG can run
Drain Pipe to tough to get places. We use a bore machine to run
Drain Pipe under driveways for example.
Drainage Systems can be installed with minimal damage to driveways and sidewalks.
Another
Drainage Problem involved installing a
Sump Pump in a basement floor.
The basement would flood after a hard rain. Again, Problem solved!
In 2013
CMG Sprinkler and Drain installed over 200
Drainage Systems in Central Oklahoma. We utilized
French Drains, Surface Drains, Channel Drains, and
Sump Pumps to solve a wide variety of Drainage Problems. Many Drainage Systems required more than one type of drain.
French Drains and Surface drains together were the most common combination.
Drainage Systems have
been a big part of our business for the last 20 years. Those years
have provided us with the necessary expertise to provide solutions for a
wide variety of
Drainage Problems.
Storm Water Run-Off causes damage to Foundations, Sidewalks, Driveways, Trees, Plants and Grass. A
Drainage System Installed by
CMG Sprinklers and Drains can help protect your valuable property.
Harsh weather in
Oklahoma seems to becoming more common. In 2013,
Norman Oklahoma had 4 inches of rain in two hours. That's the most rain in a short time that I can remember.
Storm-Water runoff can cause damage to all types of property and buildings.
Water getting inside your house is never a good thing. A
Drainage System that utilizes a
French Drain can help.
Drains can protect your home and property from water damage.
CMG installs a wide variety of
Drains in many different places. A
Drain or
Group of Drains with
Drain Pipe going to an exit point is a "
Drainage System."
Drainage Systems can be made up of one
drain or a combination of many
drains.
Drainage problems can be very complex. Complex
Drainage Problems may require a combination of several different types of
drains all inter-connected and working together. Other times the
drainage problem may be simple and straight-forward requiring only one
drain or several of the same type of
drain connected together.
An example of a complex
drainage system would be: A
French Drain in the back yard connected to a
Surface Drain near a flower bed connected to several
gutter downspouts, which are connected to a
Channel Drain going across a driveway, which is connected to additional
Surface Drain in the front yard, which runs to a
Curb Fitting that lets all the water
drain out on to the street.
A simple
Drainage System might consist of a
Surface Drain that is connected to a second
Surface Drain which runs to a
Pop-up Emitter which lets
water drain over the curb and into the street.
An "Exit Point" is the term used for where all the water leaves the
Drainage System. Determining the Exit Point is very critical. It is one of the first things we do when
diagnosing a Drainage Problem.
Drainage Systems can:
1.
Keep water away from foundations -- A
French Drain is best because it can move
Surface Water and Sub-Surface Water (water moving under ground) away from the foundation. Many times less experienced companies install
Surface Drains to
keep water away from foundations. This can be a big mistake. A
Surface Drain can't move or
drain Sub-Surface Water. Also A
Surface Drain often can't move enough water fast enough and easily becomes overwhelmed during a heavy rain. A
Surface Drain also can't cover or protect a broad enough area.
Surface Drains should be designed in a
Drainage System to be located in smaller
Drainage Areas moving moderate amounts of water.
Surface Drains look better than
French Drains. If ,"appearance" is more important than Drainage Capacity, Go with the
Surface Drain.
Just know what you are getting into and what your expectations should
be. One side of a foundation alone, can be over 100 feet. A 4 inch or 6
inch French Drain is best when protecting a large area such as a
foundation.
2.
Keep water away from small or inclosed areas. This might be a low area
just through a gate on the side of a house, or the low area between a
flowerbed and the wall of a house, or standing water on or near a
sidewalk or driveway. These types of
Drainage Problems are best served with
Surface Drains. A
Surface Drain can move water away from a low area that is relatively small. This can occur in yards, flowerbeds, sidewalks and driveways. A
Surface Drain is designed to move
Surface Water away from a problem area to a predetermined exit point.
Surface Drains are available in many sizes. How quickly they remove standing water is usually determined by the size of the
Drain Pipe that is connected to the
Drain.
Simply put, a
Drainage System is one or a group of underground
Drain Pipes
that take water away from a place that has water standing on it or
flowing across it. The water that is in the problem area, can be
causing damage or may be inconvenient or both. (Usually Both) A simple
Drainage System is a
Drain for the water to enter, a
Drain Pipe to move the water away from the
Drain, and an
Exit Point for the water to be released out of the
Drain Pipe.
Recently we installed a large 6 inch
French Drain in a home in North West
Edmond. The home owner was getting water in their floor Duct Work every time it rained. Installing a large
French Drain along
the wall in their flower bed solved the problem. No longer is water
seeping into their foundation and coming up in their vents.
CMG installs a wide variety of drains to solve a wide variety of
Drainage Problems. If you need a
Channel Drain installed across a sidewalk, We can help. If water is seeping into your foundation, A
French Drain could solve the problem. If water is standing in a low spot in your backyard, a
Surface Drain will be a good addition.
