CONCRETE FLOOR LINES & SWALES

The construction of concrete flowlines and swales is typically 12, 18, 24 inches grade or made wider and more strengthened by adding two rods of steel rebar in the concrete. Swales or flowlines gather the excess stormwater and drain it to nearby drainage.

This can help prevent the concrete on your property from needing expensive repairs or replacements. Running or pool water can deteriorate the concrete that it is sitting on top of, but with the help of a swale, the excess water can be removed. 

How Do Our Concrete Flowlines And Swales Work?

The concrete flow line or Swales we create will control and collect your water drainage by being 12 to 24 inches per grade. The swale will collect the slow storm water and direct it away from your property through a sloped surface.

This surface uses the help of gravity for drainage. A swale line is located at the shallow point of an area. From there is guided using a slope to allow the water to go downhill from the shallow depth. The concrete pavement will be safe from erosion and the swale will be covered by grass.
