About Land Drainage

In our case, the purpose of a land drainage system it’s to allow water to drain and release the pressure applied to the retaining wall.
Most floods are caused by heavy rains on a short period of time. If your retaining wall doesn’t have a drain system well done, it is possible to crack or even to collapse, after a strong storm.

You should check the Flood maps of San Diego County, where you can find more about how your area, is categorized. There are 3 levels of risk:

  • High-risk area: 1 in 4 chance of flooding during a 30 year mortgage and is marked with letters A or V. If you live in this area you are required to buy flood insurance.
  • Moderate-to-low risk area: Flood risk for these is reduced but still existing. Marked with letters B, C or X;
  • Undetermined-risk area: marked with letter D on the maps.
