Drainage Solutions Photo Album: Solution for Garage Flooding in Apopka, FL
Whenever it rained, Marcia J. in Apopka, FL, faced recurring and significant flooding in her garage. This was due to her home being situated at a low point in the neighborhood, with the driveway sloping down towards the house. She would routinely have to push the water out manually every time a heavy downpour occurred. Given the frequency with which rainstorms occur in Florida, she saw this as more than simply a nuisance, as it posed a major threat to the foundation of her home as a whole. She contacted LRE Foundation Repair to come inspect the situation and provide a solution. An expert LRE Design Specialist inspected the driveway and garage and formed a plan for the homeowner, which consisted of installing a channel drain along the front of the garage. In this scenario, the channel drainage system will accumulate water and guide it toward a retention pond positioned at the back of the residence. With this plan in place, the LRE team commenced excavation work to create a path for the drainage system along both the driveway and the home's perimeter. After the installation was complete, Marcia could rest easy knowing that water would no longer seep into her garage, and her home's foundation was now more secure.
Ineffective Flood Barrier
Due to the driveway's incline, the flood barrier strip becomes ineffective during heavy rainfall, causing water to become trapped inside the garage.
Drainage Path to Retention Pond
Situated at the rear of the property, this retention pond is designated as the intended destination for excess water to be directed.
Drainage Pipe Installation
The drainage pipe, which directs water from the driveway to the retention pond, is installed in an excavated trench and then covered over.
Installation of Driveway Trench Drain
The trench drain is tailored to the homeowner's driveway and carefully positioned to be both highly effective and aesthetically pleasing.
Concealed Drainage Pipe
Once the entire drainage system is in place, the drainage pipe is discreetly buried underground.
Pop-up Relief Drain
To release the collected rainwater into the retention pond, a pop-up relief drain is placed at the end of the drainage system.
Complete Trench Drain Installation
The trench drain is successfully installed at the end of the driveway, effectively collecting rainwater and directing it to the drainage pipe, preventing flooding in the garage.
