Do you have water standing on your Driveway?

Is water left on your deck after a Pool Party?
When it Rains, are you forced to walk through water coming out your front door?

Channel Drain Set in Concrete
Channel Drains can look great and be very functional and durable.
However, A Channel Drain is not an easy thing to install! It takes a great deal of precision, Experience, and Attention to Detail. This is Definitely Not something to allow your Landscape Company to attempt, or your Brother-In-Law!
Just because someone is skilled at pushing a mower around, doesn’t mean you should let them cut across your driveway with a concrete saw!
I get a lot of business fixing and replacing Drains of all types that were installed incorrectly by landscape companies and armatures. Typically, they stick to messing up French Drains, but I have fixed Channel Drains that were an absolute “Train Wreck!” as well.

DRAINS INSTALLED IN CONCRETE –
Standing Water on a Driveway or Sidewalk can be a real pain. Stepping out of your car into standing water is no fun. Many times, a channel drain can solve this kind of problem.
Channel Drains are usually set in concrete. This requires that the concrete be cut and removed and a drain installed in its place with new concrete around the edges.
Channel Drain Installation
Channel drains look like a gutter with a grate on top. Most of the time they are set in concrete. Usually, they are not installed in dirt because a French drain can do a much better job at a much lower installation price.
Two Kinds of Drains Set in Concrete
Channel Drains are long and narrow and have a grate that runs the length of the drain. They have removable grates. As a result, they are easy to clean. The Grates are Composite Plastic or Metal. (Chrome or Stainless Steel.)
Surface Drains are also set in Concrete. They are Square with a basin underneath the grate. Most Drain Basins Set in concrete are 9 inch or 12 inch in size.
Concrete must be cut and new concrete installed around the new channel drain.
Installing a Channel Drain is a very “Detailed Oriented Process.” Experience is a MUST! It’s not a good project for a ” WEEKEND WARRIOR, A BROTHER-IN-LAW OR A LANDSCAPE COMPANY!”
Many times, Oklahoma Drainage has been asked to come in and finish a Channel Drain Project. (AFTER THE TRAIN WRECK)!!!
