Improve Stormwater Runoff on Your Property
An infiltration trench is a shallow, excavated trench filled with coarse aggregate, designed to collect, store, and infiltrate stormwater into the surrounding soil. These trenches are often used in residential, commercial, and urban settings to manage surface runoff from impervious areas like roofs, driveways, and parking lots.

Why Install an Infiltration Trench
Infiltration trenches play a crucial role in managing stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces such as roofs, driveways, and parking lots. These surfaces prevent water from naturally soaking into the ground, leading to increased runoff, which can cause flooding, erosion, and water quality degradation. Infiltration trenches address this issue by capturing and infiltrating stormwater into the surrounding soil, thereby mimicking natural hydrological processes. By incorporating infiltration trenches, urban and suburban areas can effectively manage the burden on stormwater systems and promote better groundwater recharge, contributing to more sustainable and resilient water management practices.
Exterior Drainage Solutions Are Important
Effective exterior drainage is critical for preserving structural integrity and preventing landscape damage. These systems, which include French drains, downspout extensions, and swales, effectively divert water away from foundations, walkways, and other sensitive areas. Effective exterior drainage reduces water accumulation, which can lead to soil erosion, foundation settling, and basement flooding. These solutions manage surface water runoff, lowering the risk of mold and mildew growth, which can have an impact on indoor air quality and health. Proper drainage prevents landscape degradation, ensuring that gardens, lawns, and outdoor spaces remain functional and visually appealing.
The Difference Between Infiltration Trenches and Dry Wells
An infiltration trench is a shallow, horizontal excavation filled with crushed stone that stores stormwater runoff in the spaces between the stones and gradually infiltrates it into the ground. Similarly, a dry well is a deeper vertical excavation for the same purpose. Both of these methods are used to treat runoff that has had little contact with contaminants like bacteria and nutrients, which are less likely to be found in roof runoff or runoff from driveways and private roads.
