A drainage interceptor will soften your water, reduce the amount of sediment reaching your septic tank and allow you to choose the most cost-effective filtration systems for your home.
It is important to point out that a drainage interceptor is not designed to handle surface water and should not be used for a catch basin or storm drain.
What is a drainage interceptor?
A drainage interceptor is used to reduce the amount of water entering a property's sewage system. The drainage interceptor should be installed below ground near the point where water enters your property. A drainage interceptor is significant in avoiding flooding on the premises of your property.
A polyethene pipe will lead from the interceptor to existing plumbing fixtures and appliances on your property, such as sinks, bathtubs and toilets. A slotted pipe with a perforated drainpipe will divert water away from the house.
Here’s how it helps:
Key Benefits
Reduces the amount of water entering a property's sewage system
A drainage interceptor is a pipe that collects water from one or more drains. The purpose of the drainage interceptor is to reduce the amount of water entering your sewage system. The drainage interceptor can be installed in a basement, crawlspace or yard and can be used in areas where ground is not suitable for other types of drainage.
The installation process includes digging out an area around where you want to place your drain lines, then pouring concrete into this hole as well as under each line (if there are multiple lines). Once all of this has been completed, you will install pipes inside this concrete foundation which leads directly down into where all other existing drains lead out from their homes/buildings onto city streets etcetera - so essentially collecting all waste & trash from within those dwellings before sending it off into larger sewer systems below ground level instead!
Diverting the water away from the house
A slotted pipe with a perforated drainpipe will divert water away from the house.
A drainage interceptor is a slotted pipe that directs water away from your home. It has a perforated drain pipe installed below ground near the point where water enters your property, such as an underground gutter or downspout. The polyethene pipe leads from the interceptor to existing plumbing fixtures and appliances on your property, such as sinks, bathtubs and toilets.
Helps minimize flood damage
Installing a drainage interceptor can help minimize damage to your home caused by flooding in areas like basements and crawl spaces.
A drainage interceptor is a pipe installed underground that diverts water away from your home.
The installation should be done near the point where water enters your property, and it should lead from there to existing plumbing fixtures and appliances on your property. A polyethene pipe will lead from the interceptor to these items, which will then direct any excess water into a slotted pipe with a perforated drain pipe that runs parallel to the house's foundation wall. This will allow any excess liquid inside these pipes to flow away from your home instead of allowing it back into basements or crawl spaces through cracks in floors and walls caused by flooding during storms or heavy rainfall events.
Best practices
Should be installed below ground near the point where water enters your property
The drainage interceptor should be installed below ground near the point where water enters your property. The best place to install it is in an area where it will not be damaged by excavation, construction or landscaping activities.

The drainage system and drain lining should be installed by local codes that vary by jurisdiction. In most cases, it is required that a drainage interceptor be buried at least 6 inches below ground level; however, some jurisdictions may require deeper burial depths depending on factors such as soil type or proximity to wells.
In addition to this requirement for proper installation depth, it is also important that you do not install your drainage system within 2 feet of any building foundation walls as this could cause damage over time due to shifting soils (i.e., earthquakes). If possible avoid installing drainage systems in confined spaces like crawl spaces or basements because these areas don't tend to provide adequate ventilation needed for the proper functioning of these types of systems over time which could lead to blocked pipes with debris such as leaves/debris, etc. over time causing blockages resulting in backups inside homes/businesses due
It's important when installing these types of systems that homeowners take care not only about where they put them but also what type of materials are used when constructing them so everything lasts long term without needing drain repairs down the road.
In a nutshell
A drainage interceptor can be a great investment for homeowners who want to protect their property from flooding and other damage caused by excess water. You must know how much water enters your home every day so that you can determine if this type of system is right for you. If so, we recommend working with an experienced contractor who can help guide you through the process of installing one in your home or business.
