Channel drains are installed in both residential and commercial properties in Oklahoma to address specific drainage challenges caused by rainfall and to manage water flow on impervious surfaces.
- Driveways and Garage Entrances: A very common application is in driveways, especially those that slope down towards a garage or home. The channel drain is installed at the base of the slope to collect water flowing down the driveway and prevent it from entering the garage or pooling near the home’s foundation.
- Patios, Walkways, and Pool Decks: They are widely used in outdoor living spaces to keep surfaces dry, prevent standing water (which can be a slip hazard), and avoid water damage and mildew growth on concrete or pavers.
- Parking Lots and Commercial Courtyards: In commercial settings, channel drains handle large volumes of sheet-flow runoff from extensive paved areas like parking lots, ensuring efficient water evacuation and reducing flood risks.
- Gardens and Landscape Areas: While French drains are often preferred for subsurface issues, channel drains can be used in gardens or landscaped areas to intercept surface water before it causes soil erosion or damages plants.
