What Is an Area Drain?

An area drain is a simple yet effective system installed in specific outdoor areas of your property to collect surface water and direct it away. These drains are typically found in low-lying areas where water tends to accumulate, such as yards, patios, or driveways. Area drains are specifically designed to prevent water buildup that could lead to flooding or property damage. 

How Does an Area Drain Work?

An area drain works by utilizing gravity to move water from higher ground to lower ground. It consists of a catch basin with a grate on top to capture water while preventing larger debris from entering. The basin connects to piping that directs the collected water to a safe discharge point, often a street or storm sewer.

Do I Need an Area Drain?

When it comes to protecting your investment and preserving your indoor comfort, it’s important to select the best solutions for your home or business. As a California property owner, familiarizing yourself with the telltale signs of drainage issues can protect against significant property damage and expensive drain repairs, saving you time and money in the long run. 

While an area drain may not be necessary for everyone, it can be an ideal solution for many property owners. Here are some signs it’s time to consider an area drain: 

• Standing puddles in your yard: If you notice standing water or puddles in your yard that don't drain after a rainstorm, this is a clear sign you need an area drain. This stagnant water can damage your grass and landscaping and create a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests.
• Water accumulation around your foundation: Excess water pooling near your house's foundation can lead to serious structural issues over time, including cracks and even flooding in your basement.
