Correct yard drainage is essential protection for the house against water. A yard without planned drainage leads to standing water, damp in the foundations and flooding in winter. Proper planning moves water away from the house and keeps the yard usable.
Falls and moving water away
The yard needs a slight fall that carries water away from the house and directs it to drains. Water that collects near the foundations penetrates inwards and causes damp. Correct falls are the basis of any drainage system.
Channels and soakaways
Drainage channels collect the water and lead it to the sewer or to a soakaway that returns it to the ground. Correct system design prevents flooding even in heavy rain.
Integration with paving
The drainage system is designed together with the external paving and the waterproofing. Proper coordination creates a drained, dry and safe yard, even in the Israeli winter.
