Channel drains collect surface water across a driveway, patio, garage entrance or doorway and carry it away to a drain or soakaway. A well-installed channel prevents puddles, flooding at thresholds and damage to paving.
We set the correct falls, bed the channel securely and connect it to a suitable discharge point.
