How Often Should You Inspect Your Drainage System?

Routine maintenance and inspections are vital in ensuring that your drainage system remains in optimal condition. A good drainage system will help to ensure that your property is safe from flooding, water damage, and other complications caused by clogged pipes. But how often should you inspect your drainage system?

The frequency of inspecting your drainage system will vary depending on the age of the building, the type of soil in the area, and where the pipes are located. Generally speaking, it’s recommended that you have a professional do an inspection every couple of years or so. However, there are certain signs which may indicate that an inspection is necessary sooner rather than later. Here’s what to look out for:

1. Unusual Odors Coming From Drains Or Sewers

If you start to notice a strange smell coming from your drains or sewers, it could be a sign that something is blocking them. By getting an inspection done as soon as possible, you can avoid any potential problems before they become too serious.

2. Slow-Draining Issues

If you notice that some of your drains are taking longer than usual to empty, then it could be a sign that something is blocking them. A professional inspection can help identify any potential blockages and help get the drains flowing again properly.

3. Visible Cracks In The Pipes

If you spot any visible cracks in the outside of your pipes then it’s important to have them inspected right away as these cracks can easily lead to leaks if left unchecked for too long.

4. Standing Water Around Drain Pipes

If you notice pools of water around drainpipes then it could be a sign of an underlying problem such as cracked or blocked pipes which need fixing right away before they cause further damage to your home or business premises.

What Are The Different Types Of Underground Drainage Systems?

There are three primary types of underground drainage systems – surface drains, French drains, and storm drains. Surface drains are designed to collect water that accumulates on a sloped surface, such as a driveway or patio. These systems can be constructed with porous materials like gravel and plastic piping which allow the water to seep into the ground below it.

French Drains involve trenches dug alongside foundations to redirect groundwater away from the foundation walls of buildings and direct it outwards toward a discharge point.

Storm drain systems are large-scale networks typically used in urban areas or other areas where rapid drainage is needed due to excessive rainfall or flooding risks. Storm drain systems have pipes that lead directly towards rivers, lakes, ponds, seas, and so on for quick evacuation of runoff water from roads and poorly draining soils.

Frequently
Asked Questions

A sump pump system works by collecting water from an irrigation system or crawl space and pumping it away from the home. It consists of a pit, a pump, an inlet pipe, and an outlet pipe that moves the water out of the home to a safe area away from the foundation.

Some of the most common issues of poor drainage include the inadequate or incorrect slope of the land, poor soil composition, improper grading, landscaping, clogged gutters, and downspouts.ย 

Proper drainage is essential to ensure that excess water is removed from a property. The purpose of adequate drainage is to reduce the risk of flooding and collecting standing water, which can lead to damage to structures and an increased risk for insects and other pest infestations.ย
