Frequently Asked Questions

Why is drainage important?

Roofscapes Inc.
Proper drainage ensures that the growing medium will be maintained in an aerated condition suited to health plant growth. Basal drainage must also be designed with large rainfall events in mind. The goal is for all rainfall to percolate to the base of the system. The portion that is not absorbed should move 'underground' toward roof drains or scuppers. During very large storms, brief episodes of surface runoff may occur.

The reservoirs are not just water holding tanks. They are filled with soil as well and do not need to be drained.

What damage am I experiencing now due to inadequate drainage?

Prinsco Inc. - The Pipe with the Gold Stripe - Drainage Syst...
Often, the major source of "damage" from inadequate drainage relates to timeliness of field operations. Inadequate drainage can delay spring field operations from days to a week or more. Occasional wet spots also interrupt field traffic patterns and cause field operations to be less uniform. Vehicle traffic on soils that are too wet will cause increased soil compaction. Delays in planting mean a shorter growing season for the crop.

Why do I have drainage down the back of my throat?

Rollin K. Daniel, M.D. - Rhinoplasty Surgery - Newport Beach...
In a normal day, the nose secretes about a cup (8 oz.) of mucus that goes down the back of your throat without your being aware of it. However, once you have surgery and the nose is stuffed up, you become very aware of this normal secretion. It is nothing to worry about. The combination of “normal mucus drainage” and “intranasal swelling” can cause the mucus drainage to come out the nostrils rather than go down the back of the throat.

Dave Caves Construction assures proper drainage by correct placement of drainage tile with a granular fill. This tile drainage system is natural "gravity flow", not dependent on electricity supplied to a sump pump. Bentonize wateproofing is also applied. We use Bentonize since it is inorganic and stable underground. It will not deteriorate due to acids in the soil. (Further information on our Bentozine waterproofing available upon request.)

How will tile drainage affect my overall farming operation?

Prinsco Inc. - The Pipe with the Gold Stripe - Drainage Syst...
Tile drainage will cause soils to warm-up and dry out faster in the spring. Fields with intermittent wet spots will dry out more uniformly. Spring field operations on tiled fields will most likely be possible at an earlier date than fields without tile drainage. It is important to remember that tile drainage does not remove plant available water from the soil.
