Commercial Curtain Drains in Wallingford, CT

Drainage Pro of CT installs curtain drain systems for commercial and industrial properties throughout Wallingford, CT. When the drainage problem affecting your Wallingford commercial site is water arriving from higher-elevation terrain, a neighboring property at a higher elevation, or 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 Wallingford, CT Properties

Curtain drains address a drainage problem that catch basins and foundation French drains cannot solve: water arriving at your Wallingford commercial site from somewhere else. Wallingford's terrain makes this problem more common than in the flat coastal towns of the shoreline. The town's 39.8 square miles straddle the Quinnipiac River valley and the hillside terrain on both sides of the valley, and commercial and industrial properties at the base of those hillside zones deal with incoming groundwater and surface runoff from higher-elevation terrain that site perimeter drainage systems not designed to intercept external flow cannot fully address.

In Wallingford's industrial parks, particularly the Casimir Pulaski and Barnes Industrial Park areas where the terrain transitions between the river valley floor and the elevated terrain above, industrial properties at the lower edge of hillside zones receive incoming groundwater from higher-elevation terrain during and after rain events. If an industrial park property stays wet along the edge bordering higher terrain while the rest of the site drains normally, incoming flow from outside the property boundary is the contributing source. A curtain drain positioned across that flow path intercepts the water before it reaches the industrial facility.

Along the western side of Route 5, commercial properties sitting at the base of the terrain rising toward the Wilbur Cross Parkway and the elevated residential areas of western Wallingford deal with incoming water contribution from that higher terrain. When a Route 5 commercial property shows persistent wet conditions along the edge bordering the elevated terrain above while the rest of the site manages surface runoff normally, a curtain drain is the appropriate first response.

Commercial properties near Wharton Brook and along the Wharton Brook Zone AO sheet-flow corridor encounter an additional incoming water contribution dimension when elevated terrain above those properties sheds water toward the brook corridor during storm events. Curtain drain installation on properties in this zone addresses the incoming flow from above while other drainage system components manage the on-site water.
