Underground Drainage in Arab, AL
Arab's hillside terrain makes underground drainage not just useful — but often essential. Surface drainage fights gravity on sloped lots, while underground pipes work with it. We design and install buried drainage systems that route water far from your foundation, depositing it safely downhill where it can't cause damage.

Typically 12-18 inches deep, though this varies based on your lot's specifics. The pipe needs enough slope to drain properly (about 1 inch per 10 feet), and discharge points must be below the intake. We design each system for your terrain.
Yes, though rocky soil increases installation difficulty and cost. We have the equipment to handle Arab's varied terrain. In some cases, we route pipes around rocky areas rather than through them.
We discharge to a suitable location downhill from your home — typically to a drainage ditch, wooded area, or natural drainage path. The key is getting water far enough away that it can't flow back toward your foundation. We'll identify the best discharge point for your lot.
We typically use 4-inch corrugated or solid PVC pipe, depending on the application. Solid pipe is better for high-volume or long runs; corrugated works well for shorter distances and is more flexible for routing around obstacles.
