Complete linear drainage channel from Clark-Drain
'The Complete Channel' is the title of new literature releases by Clark-Drain on its CLKS 400 Series of thermoplastic linear drainage channels.
The principal of operation for Clark's Linear Drainage system is for the channels to collect water and effluent along their entire length and deposit it into the underground system as appropriate.
Installation is simpler and faster, water transference is improved and maintenance is easier.
Contrast this approach with point drainage systems with their buried pipes, which are more difficult to install or repair, as well as the higher risk of ponding when water is not successfully drained.
