Trench Drain
Trench drains provide effective and efficient waterproofing protection against water damage to your foundation.

We provide our services throughout North Billerica, MA, and the surrounding sections. We have the experience, expertise, products, and commitment required to deliver high-quality, long-lasting, and reliable drainage services throughout the region.
What Are Trench Drains?
Trench drains are exterior drainage systems that funnel rainwater in a direction to prevent the excess water from pooling and creating flooding. It can be considered as an outdoor gutter system similar to an elongated drain. The drain will be laid along the length of the entire area that is prone to collecting water before effectively draining it away.
We design and lay trench drains in a wide range of ways using different materials. The commonly used materials include:
- Galvanized steel
- Plastic
- Cast iron
We can also use rocks and gravel as part of the drain to match it with your landscaping and to enable effective water channeling. Do you have a downward hill or slump in your hard, driveway, or anywhere else on your property? A trench drain may be required in such situations to drain the water away from the area before it can cause flooding.
It is worth noting that trench drains are among the many other waterproofing solutions that we can design and install to protect your yard and foundation against water damage. Our licensed and insured team will work closely with you to determine the best solution for your landscape.
Need For Waterproofing
Waterproofing your home is an important step toward avoiding major and expensive problems. There are various systems, techniques, and products for waterproofing and a trench drain is one among them. When we waterproof your home using a trench drain, we help prevent two key issues:
- Foundation Settlement: When water pours and enters the ground, it can cause the soil to get saturated. This can cause shifting of the soil and thus further cause the settlement of the foundation.
- Concrete Sinking: The soil under concrete slabs can also get saturated, causing the concrete to sink. This can be a major issue with sidewalks, driveways, and pathways.
A professionally designed and installed trench drain can collect water and move it away from the foundation, driveways, pathway, or sidewalk and add more years to their lifecycle.
