Types of Backyard Drainage Systems

A backyard drainage system can be made up of a few different types of drains each with its own benefits and use cases. When these drains are used together they can create a highly efficient backyard stormwater drain system.

French Drains or Aggi Drains

French drains, aggi drains, agi drains or agricultural drains make up one of the biggest parts of a landscape drainage solutions as they are almost invisible but can have a massive effect on how quickly your soil drains off excess water greatly reducing the boggyness of your backyard after rain. Agi drains are made up of a series of perforated pipes running underneath your lawn. These pipes create an area of low resistance that draws in the water from the surrounding soil reducing residual water levels and keeping your lawn dry. This creates a highly effective but almost invisible drainage system to ensure your backyard is still usable and aesthetic. 

Trench Drains

Trench drains consist of a plastic, steel or concrete trench anywhere from 100mm to 300mm and are often used as a moat for your patios or outdoor areas. These trenches come in a wide variety of colours so they can blend in with your flooring and gardens. Trench drains create a barrier stopping runoff from flooding your outdoor areas keeping them dry during the rain. They can also be used throughout a patio to drain water that lands on the concrete or to stop rainwater from getting into your garage.

Stormwater Systems Pits and Drains

Stormwater pits reduce the risk of your stormwater system backing up and overflowing and will better manage the flow of your drainage system into the council's mains system. They can be used strategically throughout your stormwater system to greatly increase their total capacity reducing the risk of it overflowing and flooding your home. Stormwater pits can also be used as an overflow in the rare case that your system is overloaded the water will overflow at the stormwater pit which is often placed away from your home instead of the drains right next tro your home.

Outdoor Drainage Relining and Repair

Stormwater pipes are at high risk of root intrusions and cracks as they often run next to trees and other plants that will break into the pipe looking for water. When this happens just clearing the roots out won't be enough as the cracks in the pipe will allow the roots to grow back in they also allow other debris to enter the pipe and block it up. Steves plumbing uses no dig drain relining technologies to apply an interior coating to the drain that will seal any cracks and ensure the pipes flow efficiently. This will ensure the pipes run as they should and keep roots out while not having to dig up your gardens and lawns.
