Below ground drainage:


Homeowners who have experienced the inconvenience and unpleasantness of flooded basements, wet yards and malfunctioning septic systems will find this topic of special interest. Solving the problems created by surface runoff and poorly drained soils will not only improve your property and protect your investment, but will also yield benefits to rivers, streams, and reservoirs. Rain runoff from roofs, patios, and driveways, carry soil from bare spots in yards and vacant lots into culverts, roadside ditches, and waterways. This sediment adversely affects the appearance of streams, smothers fish, and blankets bottom-dwelling animals. Oil, pesticides, and fertilizers also can be carried by runoff from your property to cause pollution to surface waters and groundwater.

The homes at the village utilize such features as passive solar gain, are highly insulated, draught proof, and have active solar systems and heat recovery units. Reflecting the approach above ground, below ground drainage systems must match similar environmental criteria, making clay drainage the natural choice. Clay pipes require markedly less energy in manufacture than alternatives and utilize naturally occurring raw materials which are available close to the point of manufacture, minimizing raw material transportation requirements. Once in situ they offer proven long term performance and durability. In addition to Hepworth clay drainage, the properties are to make use of the company's terracotta flue liners, providing similar sustainability benefits.

Conclusion:

Drainage problems can occur when your home is located on a flood-prone site. If your home is in a flood plain, severe problems may occur when streams overflow during heavy rainfall or snow melt. Often, community-wide measures are necessary to provide adequate property protection. If you are selecting a new home site, checks to make sure the area is not highly flood prone and build the foundation above any expected flood level. Improving drainage becomes essential if your site includes a natural spring or seep which flows near your house, affects your lawn, or impairs use of an onsite septic system. Subsurface drains should be properly installed to collect the groundwater and divert it from such areas. Be sure to check local building codes for approved materials and other drainage regulations.
