How to install channel drain? 

Channel drain installation could be completed in a few simple steps. However, before you start your project, there are a few do's to keep in mind. 

  • Begin at the intersection of your channel drain sections and the drainage run or soakaway. This is likely to be a fixed position, therefore if you begin elsewhere, even a minor miscalculation or difference in the ground might need significant adjustments.
  • Check that you have a connection to an appropriate drain or soakaway; if you do not, you risk causing a buildup of surface water somewhere on your premises.
