What Are The Four Types Of Drainage
Here at Tradestore our range includes ground drainage materials, ground drainage systems and underground drainage systems, all of which are designed and manufactured to be user friendly, easy to install and tough enough to cope with any commercial or domestic situation.
What Is Drainage
The removal of water from a surface and or sub-surface area is known as drainage.
Internal drainage in most agricultural soils is adequate to prevent serious water-logging, but many soils require artificial drain structures to increase yield or regulate water supplies.
To understand which type of ground supplies you require, you first need to understand the different types of systems and how they work.
Surface Drainage System / Ground Systems
Surface drainage systems remove surplus water from the soil’s surface via channels (channel drainage) or ditches.
The ground surface may be shaped or levelled to create sloping toward the channels in some situations.
Open drains, humps, hollows and grassed waterways, are examples of different types of surface drainage systems.
Subsurface Systems / Underground Drainage Systems
Subsurface drainage systems or underground drainage supplies, are utilised beneath the top layer of soil.
They operate at root level to remove surplus water and are sometimes known as a French drain. To install pipes for subsurface drains – dig ditches!
Based on the requirements and position of where the drain would be installed, Tradestore offers a variety of PVC U subsurface solutions to UK residents, via our online shop.

Slope System
Slope systems are designed to allow water to flow from a building or property, in a downward direction. It’s carried out using pipes that descend down the slope.
The water will be guided through the pipe and sent away from the structure quickly, because the installed pipe is positioned on an incline.
Downspouts And Gutter Systems
Over-saturation from stormwater is the first line of defence against saturation for a structure’s downspouts and gutter systems.
They are frequently collected in an aluminium extension, buried drain pipe, rain barrel, or other technique to move water away and direct it to other drains on the street or concrete pavement.
Gutter drains or “underground” gutter, is an effective way of diverting water away from buildings and into underground perforated pipe, which then leads to the sewer lines under the street.
Supplies And Accessories
We offer a variety of ground drainage systems, which can be used together or separately and offer a range of sink drain kits, floor drain kits and grating kits.
In order to prevent flooding from heavy rainfall, we offer an effective solution for your home or business in the form of our downpipe storage boxes.
The Most Common Systems
The Positive Flow drain is a popular technique that collects water from your roof, gutter and downspouts, then directs it to underground drainage systems in your Garden.
Gutter Drain Clearance is an area where gutter clogs frequently develop, due to debris that accumulates in the gutter.
Gutter clogs are most common, due to leaves that may fall in autumn or spring time when trees are dropping their seeds.

Summary
- Land drainage is an important aspect of water conservation and preservation that most people aren’t aware of.
- When it comes to the many forms of drain systems, you’ll notice that they frequently collaborate to remove water and direct it towards a suitable destination.
- The quicker the excess is removed from a structure or area where pooling may occur, the better.
