Trench Drain System, How do you build one?
The first thing you need to do when building a new trench drainage system is to consult your local authority or the government body that is responsible for plumbing and drainage matters. You also need to inform your local building control department at your council office. You should also present a detailed plan of the work you need to undertake and have it inspected and as the work progresses; make sure it complies with the local buildings regulations.
There are two types of trench drainage system namely foul water system and surface water drainage system. Water that comes out of the kitchen, bathrooms, utility rooms, car washing areas and other such places is classified in the category of foul water system materials. While, the water that is discharged from soaks, watercourse, surface water sewers is classified as surface water drainage systems. Earlier, rainwater pipes were used to discharge the foul water drains via gully traps. But, now to stop foul air from the drains, one must ensure that foul water system is not connected to surface water drainage.
