Commercial Curtain Drains in Old Lyme, CT

Drainage Pro of CT installs curtain drain systems for commercial properties throughout Old Lyme, CT. When the drainage problem affecting your Old Lyme commercial site is water arriving from a higher-elevation neighboring property, from wooded terrain above an inland commercial parcel, or from a higher section of your own site, a curtain drain positioned across that incoming flow path intercepts the water before it reaches the area causing you trouble and routes it to a controlled discharge point.

Commercial Curtain Drains for Old Lyme, CT Properties

Curtain drains solve a drainage problem that catch basins and foundation French drains cannot: water arriving at your Old Lyme commercial site from somewhere else. This incoming flow condition is most commonly encountered on Old Lyme commercial properties at the transitional zone between the town's flat coastal commercial areas and the more varied terrain of the inland sections, and on commercial properties in the Exit 70 and 71 light industrial zone on Hatchetts Hill Road and Vista Drive where the terrain is more varied and neighboring properties at different elevations can contribute groundwater and surface runoff toward lower-lying commercial sites.

In Old Lyme's Halls Road commercial corridor, the flat terrain and the developed nature of the surrounding commercial environment make curtain drains a less frequent need, since the incoming uphill water contribution dynamic that drives curtain drain installation is less pronounced on flat commercial lots surrounded by other developed properties at similar elevations. However, when Halls Road commercial properties sit adjacent to undeveloped land at a higher elevation, or when changes in neighboring development alter drainage patterns that now send more water toward a lower-lying commercial lot, a curtain drain is the right tool to intercept that incoming contribution before it affects the commercial site.

For commercial properties in the Route 156 coastal zone and the marina properties along the Connecticut River and its tidal tributaries, curtain drains address a different version of the incoming flow problem. When tidal influence and seasonal water table behavior cause groundwater to move onto coastal commercial lots from adjacent higher-elevation terrain during wet periods, a curtain drain positioned to intercept that flow before it saturates the commercial property provides relief that catch basin and building perimeter drainage systems cannot achieve on their own.

How We Install Commercial Curtain Drains in Old Lyme

Every commercial curtain drain installation begins with a site assessment that traces the water source, confirms that incoming flow from uphill terrain or neighboring properties is a contributing factor, and identifies the correct position, depth, and discharge routing for the curtain drain. We then trench across the incoming flow path, install perforated pipe in drainage stone with filter fabric, and route collected water to a compliant discharge point appropriate for the specific site location and applicable regulations near Old Lyme's regulated coastal and inland resources. On flat commercial lots where no downhill daylight outlet is available, discharge routes to a dry well or structured outlet designed for the applicable site conditions.
