Subsurface Drainage

Subsurface drainage is the installation of a network of pipes or tiles beneath the soil surface to remove excess water from an area. This technique is essential in landscaping and construction to prevent waterlogging, reduce soil erosion, and protect structures like foundations and retaining walls from water damage. Subsurface drainage systems, such as French drains or perforated pipes, collect and redirect water away from the landscape, promoting healthier plant growth and more stable soil conditions. Proper subsurface drainage design and installation are critical for ensuring the long-term functionality and safety of outdoor spaces, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or poor natural drainage.
