Oklahoma Drainage – 405 203 9419 — Servicing all of Central and Western Oklahoma

Recently we had a customer call us with a drainage problem.  She had water standing in front of garage door.  If it got high enough it would run into the garage.  We installed Surface Drains in the Driveway in front of the garage door in the concrete.  The Surface Drains had metal grates and could easily support the weight of a car once the concrete had cured.

Standing Water can cause all types of problems in and around homes in Oklahoma.

We use several types of drains to solve several types of drainage problems.  Oklahoma Drainage utilizes French Drains, Surface Drains and Channel Drains.

A basic French Drain consists of a Perforated Drain Pipe in the bottom of a trench. The French Drain Trench runs through a Problem Drainage Area that needs to be drained.   The French Drainpipe is perforated (Full of Small Holes) and has Neo-Prene Soc around the pipe.  This soc helps prevent debris from clogging the French Drainpipe.

French Drain Fill

The dirt that was taken out to make the trench is hauled away. It is replaced by some type of small stone or gravel depending on what is desired or available. I prefer crushed 1 inch lime stone. It is the most economical option in my area. Pea Gravel or some other type of small stone can work just as well. The limestone or gravel is placed in the trench on top of the perforated Drain Pipe and filled all the way to the surface (ground level).

French Drain Liner

In some cases where the French Drain needs to be deep or is being placed in sandy soil, a special trench liner must be placed in the trench before the perforated Drain Pipe or the Gravel are installed. This helps maintain the integrity of the trench over time. It also increases the cost of the French Drain and the amount of time to install it.
