Prevent subsurface water from flooding your property with prefabricated Strip Drain, an alternative to perforated pipe systems that offers more open surface area for water collection. This lightweight drainage solution collects excess water and directs it to designated drainage outlets, where Strip Drain End Outlet (sold separately) is used to connect Strip Drain to outlet pipe Strip Drain can be used in conjunction with Sheet Drain to collect and transport subsurface water away from a foundation or retaining wall to prevent water damage. While Sheet Drain is installed on surface walls, Strip Drain is installed below at the footing along the perimeter of the structure. Strip Drain comes preassembled with a dimpled perforated polymeric core wrapped in polypropylene geotextile filter fabric to prevent soil and sand from entering and potentially clogging the drainage system. This allows the collection of water from both sides to flow through to the drainage exits by gravity. Each roll of Strip Drain measures 6 inch X 50 ft., and can be cut to length. The core is 1 inch thick, and features an in-plane flow rate of 21 GPM/ft. NDS offers free tools such as the Home Drainage Center, Calculators, and NDS Stormwater Drainage mobile app to help make your project a success. Founded in 1972, NDS is the preferred choice of professionals and the leader in stormwater management solutions with proven products, tools, and support to help you get the job done right.
Prevent subsurface water from flooding your property
Works as an alternative to perforated pipe and stone systems
50 foot strip comes as preassembled core and geotextile fabric
Efficient, cost-effective alternative to perforated pipe and stone drainage systems to collect and transport subsurface water, reducing hydrostatic pressure against foundations and retaining walls to help prevent saturation and costly damage
Use Strip Drain as a trench drain system in saturated lawns, or as a perimeter foundation drain system at the base of foundation walls, retaining walls, and raised planters
Use with Strip Drain End Outlet to collect and direct water to designated drainage exits, use with Sheet Drain to collect and transport subsurface water away from foundations, retaining walls, and planters
For trench drains, face dimples toward subsurface flow in 4 inch wide X 9 inch minch deep trench, backfill with sand/aggregate and compact, for wall base/footer drains, face dimples away from wall and secure to surface with adhesive, tape, or fasteners
Prefabricated Strip Drain is made of a dimpled perforated core encased in geotextile filter fabric, Core made of high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) using recycled content and treated with UV inhibitors to prevent damage from UV exposure during installation
Comes with one Strip Drain roll measuring 6 inch X 50 feet
