PolyCast 600 Trench Drain Installation
Earlier in the year, I witnessed the installation of 40 LF of Polycast 600. Polycast 600 is a pre-sloped polymer concrete product manufactured by Hubbell. It is similar to many commercial grade products already out on the market. This particular product was sold with galvanized steel slotted grates and a steel channel protector. The channel protector (Polyguard) is a strip of galvanized steel that helps prevent premature edge deterioration of the polymer channel. Click here to read the blog.

From my observation, driveway drainage problems are the most common. The problem can vary from being merely a low spot in the drive that causes the pooling of water to the unfortunate deluge of water that enters the garage each time there is a heavy rain.

School is still in session, so you basically have the beaches to yourself if you can find a day that the sun is out. Click here to read the blog.
