We work with various Aco systems, selecting the right load-bearing channels and grates to withstand heavy vehicles and constant use, helping your business maintain a safe and functional environment.

The Drain 2 Flow Approach to Aco Installation: Precision & Durability

Installing Aco channel drainage isn't just about digging a trench and laying some channels. It requires careful planning and precision. At Drain 2 Flow Exeter, we take the time to assess your specific drainage needs, considering the slope of the land, expected water flow, and the best connection points to your existing drainage pipework. We ensure the correct channel height, proper backfill material, and secure installation of the grates for long-term durability and optimal performance. Whether it's a new installation or integrating with existing foul and surface water drainage, our experienced engineer handles every step. We use quality Aco products and proven techniques to ensure your new system functions perfectly, protecting your property from water damage for years to come.

Aco Drain Questions

Aco Channel Drainage: Your Questions Answered

Answers to common questions about designing and installing Aco channel drainage for driveways, patios, and commercial premises in Clyst Heath and across Exeter.

What exactly is an ACO drain?

+

It is a specific type of linear channel drain set into the ground. It features a U-shaped channel covered by a protective grate. It catches surface water running off non-porous surfaces like tarmac or block paving and guides it safely away from your property.

Do I really need a channel drain for my driveway?

+

If rainwater naturally flows toward your garage, front door, or pools in large puddles, you definitely need a drainage solution. It stops water from breaching your damp proof course and prevents the ground from washing away beneath your paving.

Where does the water go after it enters the linear drain?

+

We direct the flow into a designated storm water system. This might be an underground soakaway crate system in your garden, or a dedicated local surface water sewer.

Can I drive my car over the new drains?

+

Yes. We supply and install load-bearing grates. For residential driveways, standard galvanised or heavy-duty plastic grates handle family cars easily. For commercial clients in places like Sowton, we fit high-weight-capacity cast iron grates designed for lorries and heavy traffic.

How long does a driveway drainage installation take?

+

Most residential installations in the Clyst Heath area take between one to two days, depending on the length of the trench and the type of surface we need to cut through. We will give you a clear timeline when we survey the property.
