Learn about the benefits of a dry well drainage system.
A dry well drainage system is great for homes with walkways or patios that often turn into slipping hazards in the snow, as they freeze over and turn to ice. The drainage system is a great way to dispose of unwanted water, and keep your yard clear and hazard free.
What Is A Dry Well Drainage System?
A dry well drainage system disposes of water by dispersing it into the ground to reach groundwater. The system is a type of passive structure, as the gravity encourages water flow into pipes along the top portion of the system. The water is then discharged through smaller openings along the sides and bottom.
The Advantages
A dry well drainage system has many advantages and can be the answer to many of your drainage concerns. A key benefit of this type of system is that it is very versatile, as it can handle various applications including water from sump pumps, driveways, walkways, roof runoff, and more. Also, the dry well system contains oxygen, which can be very beneficial for keeping the drainage pit dry. This, in turn, keeps the soil around the system healthier. Lastly, this drainage system is helpful for both drainage and irrigation needs. The dry well helps areas dry out from heavy rains and allows water to move back into the groundwater. This allows your plants and trees to have access to the water without drowning in puddles.
Affordable Solution
In addition to all of these great benefits, the dry well drainage system is an affordable solution. It lasts a long time and offers long-term function, without making a significant disturbance to your lawn where you install it.
Signs You Have A Drainage Problem
The simplest way to tell that you have a drainage problem is to notice the way your home and yard react to rainfall. Homeowners with proper drainage won’t notice much of anything. The ground will be wet, but water will have flowed away from home, and there will be no noticeable damage. However, if you notice that water tends to pool on your lawn, or around the edges of your plant beds, you may have a problem on your hands. The experts at Aqua-Bright can carefully assess your situation and offer quick and thoughtful solutions that will solve your issues.
