Professional drainage systems are an important part of many construction and landscaping projects. Excess rainwater, groundwater or water flowing from a slope can create persistent problems around houses, foundations, gardens, driveways and retaining structures.

A properly designed drainage system provides a controlled route for excess water and helps reduce water accumulation around buildings. A typical drainage solution can include perforated drainage pipes, drainage aggregate, geotextile, inspection chambers and a suitable outlet or infiltration system.

RUMANA provides turnkey drainage and excavation services in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, including excavation, material supply, installation, connections, backfilling and terrain restoration.

What Is a Drainage System?

A drainage system is designed to collect and redirect excess water from areas where it could otherwise accumulate.

Depending on the site, drainage may be used around:

• family houses,
• foundations,
• basements,
• new buildings,
• holiday homes and cottages,
• gardens,
• retaining walls,
• terraces,
• driveways,
• paved areas,
• slopes,
• agricultural and larger plots.

The exact design depends on the terrain, soil conditions, amount of water and the available way of safely discharging the collected water.

Drainage is not a replacement for waterproofing. It is a complementary system that helps reduce the amount of water around the structure.

Turnkey Drainage Systems by RUMANA

Instead of coordinating several different contractors, you can arrange the complete drainage installation with one company.

RUMANA can provide:

• site assessment,
• drainage route preparation,
• excavation with a mini excavator,
• removal of excess soil,
• drainage pipes,
• geotextile,
• drainage aggregate,
• inspection chambers,
• connections,
• required slopes,
• backfilling,
• compaction,
• terrain restoration.

This makes turnkey drainage installation a practical solution for homeowners, developers, construction companies and property owners.

Drainage Around a House

One of the most common applications is drainage around a house.

Water accumulating close to foundations can become a long-term problem, especially on poorly permeable soils or sloping properties.

A drainage system can collect water from the surrounding ground and redirect it away from the building.

When installing drainage around an existing house, it is important to consider:

• foundation depth,
• existing waterproofing,
• utility connections,
• paved areas,
• terraces,
• gardens,
• access for machinery,
• the final discharge point.

This is why every drainage installation should be adapted to the actual property rather than treated as a universal solution.

Drainage for New Buildings

Drainage is often easier to install during the construction of a new house.

When the foundations are accessible, excavation can be carried out efficiently and the drainage system can be coordinated with waterproofing, foundations, rainwater management and landscaping.

Planning the drainage system early can also help avoid unnecessary excavation and restoration work later.

Drainage for Existing Houses and Foundations

Drainage can also be installed around an existing building.

Typical reasons for considering additional drainage include:

• permanently wet ground,
• water accumulating near the foundations,
• a house located below a slope,
• poor natural drainage,
• groundwater,
• repeated water accumulation after heavy rain,
• problems around basements or retaining structures.

Additional drainage around an existing property requires careful planning because excavation may affect paths, paving, vegetation, utility lines and other structures.

Drainage for Slopes and Sloping Properties

Slope drainage is particularly important on properties where water naturally flows from higher ground toward a house or another structure.

Without controlled drainage, heavy rainfall can concentrate water in one area.

A drainage solution for a slope may include:

1. identifying the direction of water flow,
2. determining where the water should be collected,
3. creating the drainage route,
4. installing the drainage pipe,
5. surrounding it with suitable aggregate,
6. using geotextile as a filtration and separation layer,
7. connecting the system to a suitable outlet.

On difficult or restricted-access sites, a mini excavator can make the excavation process considerably more efficient.

Drainage Pipes, Aggregate and Geotextile

A properly designed drainage system is more than just a pipe placed underground.

Drainage Pipe

Perforated drainage pipes collect water from the surrounding drainage layer and transport it toward the designated outlet.

Drainage Aggregate

The drainage pipe is surrounded by permeable aggregate that allows water to move toward the pipe.

Geotextile

Geotextile acts as a filtration and separation layer. It helps prevent fine soil particles from entering the drainage layer and reducing its permeability.

Inspection Chambers

Longer or more complex systems may require inspection chambers for checking and maintaining the drainage system.

Water Outlet

Perhaps the most important question is:

Where will the collected water go?

Depending on the site, the water may be directed to a permitted rainwater drainage system, retention tank, infiltration solution or another suitable discharge point.

Mini Excavator for Drainage Installation

Excavation is one of the most important parts of any drainage project.

Using a mini excavator allows drainage trenches to be prepared efficiently while maintaining the required route and depth.

Small machines are particularly useful where access is restricted.

RUMANA can provide the complete sequence:

excavation → preparation → drainage installation → connection → backfilling → terrain restoration.

We can also arrange the removal of surplus soil and delivery of construction materials as part of the project.

Drainage and Rainwater Management

Drainage is often connected with the wider question of rainwater management.

A property may require several complementary solutions, such as:

• drainage around foundations,
• rainwater collection,
• retention tanks,
• infiltration systems,
• drainage channels,
• collection chambers,
• surface water management.

These systems should not automatically be treated as interchangeable. The correct solution depends on the site conditions and the amount and origin of the water.

How Much Does a Drainage System Cost?

There is no single price for drainage installation.

The final cost depends on:

• total drainage length,
• excavation depth,
• soil conditions,
• site accessibility,
• amount of aggregate,
• drainage pipe type and quantity,
• geotextile,
• number of inspection chambers,
• connection to an existing system,
• removal of excavated soil,
• restoration of paving or landscaping,
• complexity of the terrain.

For this reason, a site-specific quotation is much more useful than a universal price per metre.

Send us the location, approximate drainage length and photographs of the property and we can assess the scope of work.
