Public Market Drainage
System Problem in the
Municipality of Claveria What is a drainage system? • Drainage systems are in place to remove the excess water in development. This could be floodwater, rainwater, and different kinds of run off. • Drainage systems are also in place to remove wastewater effectively, and this is referred to as a sewer system. Claveria Public Market Wastewater • Wastewater from Claveria public market is generated from distinct sources and activities. • These include: Meat, poultry, fish preparation and sales Fruit and vegetable (produce) sales Prepared food stalls Public restrooms Causes of Poor Drainage • Normal Debris Causing Clogs • Solid Waste • Fats, Oil and Grease Impact on Environment • Oversaturation of the soils in the ground: As the soils become oversaturated with water, they can expand and put a lot of pressure on your foundation. This pressure can eventually cause your foundation to crack or your basement walls to bow or buckle. • Bug and pest infestation: The excess water in your yard can lead to an increase in bugs and pests as they love to live in damp places. • Mold and allergens: If the excess water is not taken care of, it can eventually cause mold to grow in your yard and lead to allergen or health-related issues for you and your family. • Damage to landscape: Improper drainage can cause parts of your yard to flood and result in damaged landscaping. Solution and Recommendation • French Drain: A French drain is a large perforated pipe that collects water and disperses it far away from your yard. • We use the EZ-Flow French Drain as it typically outperforms more traditional drains that are built with gravel. • Downspout Drainage: Installing a proper downspout can help prevent your yard from flooding. As your gutters do their job to collect your roof water, they need to connect to a downspout so that the water is properly drained from your yard. • We install the RainChute, RainChute EZ, and LawnSpace Outlet for proper drainage and to help prevent the roof water from flooding your yard. • Trench Drain/Channel Drain: A trench drain is a surface drainage solution that prevents water from collecting at slopes in your driveway, doorways, or stairways. It collects water and properly channels it away from your home. • Catch Basin: A catch basin can be placed in the ground to help eliminate standing water and move the water through to an underground drainage system to improve yard drainage. • Percolation Trench: This type of trench is an excavated trench that is filled with gravel or stone and helps channel storm water runoff far away from your yard to prevent flooding.
