Drainage Aftercare

Maintenance work is still needed after the installation of a drainage system, although the extent of work required will depend upon the type of system. Typical works may include the following:
• Cleaning out silt or catchment traps to ensure they don't become clogged up.
• Check for large dips in the ground as a drainage pipe may have collapsed. This would need to be investigated and the area possibly excavated and repaired.
• Minor trench line depressions will typically have had some gravel settling and so a light top-dressing of the sward over the depressed trench line will keep the surface even.
