Should I ever use corrgated drain pipe?

When it comes to drainage systems, there are several types of pipe materials available. Many contractors use single-wall corrugated pipe in their installations, but at Yard Drain, we believe that double-wall corrugated pipe provides several advantages over single-wall corrugated pipe.

Firstly, double-wall corrugated pipe has a higher crush rating than single-wall corrugated pipe. This means that it is more durable and less likely to collapse under pressure. This is important for ensuring that the drainage system remains effective for the long-term.

Secondly, double-wall corrugated pipe has a much lower friction coefficient than single-wall corrugated pipe. This allows for a higher water velocity in the pipe, which helps to keep the drain clear and free of debris. By using Manning’s Formula, we can accurately calculate the necessary water velocity for each drainage system to ensure efficient water flow.

Thirdly, double-wall corrugated pipe has two walls instead of one, which provides an additional layer of protection against damage and wear. This makes it more reliable and less likely to develop leaks or cracks over time.

Finally, double-wall corrugated pipe is less likely to have dips and humps in the drain line compared to single-wall corrugated pipe. These variations in corrugated pipe can collect debris and hold water, which can attract tree roots and cause blockages in the drain.

At Yard Drain, we prioritize using the most reliable and effective materials for our drainage solutions. By utilizing double-wall corrugated pipe, we can provide our clients with long-lasting and effective drainage systems that effectively manage excess water and prevent damage to their properties. With a higher crush rating, lower friction coefficient, and additional layer of protection, double-wall corrugated pipe is an ideal choice for drainage systems that require a high level of durability and performance.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a drainage system that's built to last and will effectively manage excess water, choose Yard Drain and double-wall corrugated pipe.
