Want to Make Sure Your Home Is Safe?
As a professional drainage contractor, I am often asked about all the different types of drainage equipment there is. So, I decided to write this brief post on just that, enjoy!
Drainage equipment is generally broken down into 2 categories. The first are the components of a drainage system that refer to things such as septic tanks or pipes. The second is the various products that help with the installation, repair, or maintenance of drainage systems. Some are primarily used by drainage specialists such as myself, while others are available to homeowners wanting to find a solution to a drainage problem.
The word drainage actually refers to the artificial removal of water, and drainage equipment will also help with moisture control, removing excess stormwater, or alleviating water damage. Unwanted buildup of water will always result in issues such as flooding or clogged pipes. This then leads to damaged foundations, mold, and mildew growth, well, the list is almost endless.
A common type of drainage equipment is pipes, which are used to redistribute water from areas that suffer from drainage problems. Some of the common pipes found in homes and gardens, and are made of PVC plastic. These pipes will be placed in trenches that have been dug with the intent of relocating water.
Tools and devices that are used to maintain and clean drains are prime examples of drainage equipment also. Various pumping systems will help to clean out drainage pipes which have become clogged. Some drainage equipment will be used specifically to clean pipes that carry waste. A good example is a mini hand snake; this is often used to unblock drainage pipes found in kitchens or bathrooms.
