Drainage that replaces aggregate.
US Drainage Systems products are the now and future replacement for conventional aggregate (stone and gravel) drainage systems. Proven plastic geocomposite drains for architects, engineers and contractors.
Why replace the gravel?
Excess ground water is a problem on nearly every below-grade, deck and site project. A geocomposite drain does the job of a stone layer in a fraction of the thickness, with predictable long-term performance.
Conventional aggregate drainage
- Thick layers of stone or gravel
- Extra excavation and grading
- Added dead load on decks and roofs
- Perforated pipe needed in French drains
- Performance that is hard to predict over time
US Drainage Systems geocomposites
- Thin prefabricated sheet, strip and wick drains
- Little to no extra excavation depth
- Little to no increase in structural weight
- PercoStrip carries water with no perforated pipe
- The same long-term performance, unlike unpredictable stone
½″ PercoDrain 15moves more drainage water per foot of width than a layer of stone 1′ wide and 180″ high.
¼″ PercoDrain 10moves more drainage water per foot of width than a layer of stone 1′ wide and 120″ high.
Built-in protectionPercoDrain 15-B adds a polymeric film protection layer where waterproofing manufacturers require one.
