A Guide to Drainage Installations
Drain exposed due to repairs works that need to be carried out
Drainage is one of the first things to be completed in a build, and much of subsequent construction sits on top of it, whether that’s the building or hard landscape. Make a mistake with the drainage system and it may only become apparent once the building is complete.
By then, although not technically too late, it can be a costly and drawn out process to put right.
That is why every effort should be made to get things right the first time round. But with drainage systems out of sight — and therefore out of mind — builders have been known to cut corners.
Common mistakes made during drainage installation include incorrect pipe sizes, wrong pipe gradient, cross-connections and poor backfilling. These and others are covered in our FREE downloadable best practice guide to drainage installations.
It’s likely to cost a property owner a great deal of time, money and stress to fix problems which could have been easily avoided.
