Benefits
What is a slot drain?
Also known as a linear drain system, slot drain is installed underground to manage the flow of groundwater. In contrast to other channel drainage systems, slot drain is less obtrusive so gives a better aesthetic finish.
How does Land Drainage work?
Soil typically becomes saturated for one of two reasons. This is either due to the type of soil it is, such as clay, or excessive rainfall where no more water can be absorbed into the ground. Land drainage works by installing plastic land drainage coil underground. This alleviates excess water by allowing it to flow into and through a pipe, in areas that are waterlogged.
The land drain pipe will then direct the water to a nearby disposal point – such as a nearby stream, storm drain or soakaway system – to prevent a build-up of excess water.
