Drainage in detail: where water really remains

In Mainz, practice shows that water build-up almost always begins at connection zones, drains and edge areas. This is exactly where it is decided whether a system will function permanently.

A short on-site inspection with targeted water flow and a look at drainage points prevents problems from only becoming visible after the renovation.

Key points for drainage and gradient planning in Mainz

  • Align gradients with real land use
  • Keep drains, gutters and emergency drainage clear and accessible
  • Integrate connection details into processes in a technically clean manner
  • Check and document watercourses after heavy rain

What clients should pay attention to

If you want to make a safe decision in Mainz, you should consider usage, detailed zones and long-term care together before execution.

  • Is the existing gradient sufficient for safe drainage?
  • Are drain points correctly positioned and accessible?
  • Which areas regularly show water accumulation?
  • Is drainage clearly integrated into maintenance and care?

Avoid common mistakes

Typical weak points usually concern connection details, material transitions and a lack of follow-up control during ongoing operations.

  • Only assess drainage after completion
  • Block drain points with dirt or furniture
  • Only check detailed execution of processes visually rather than technically
  • Not checking emergency drainage regularly

Practice checklist for Mainz

This short list helps to classify drainage and slope planning more quickly and clearly before making an inquiry:

  • Align gradients with real land use
  • Keep drains, gutters and emergency drainage clear and accessible
  • Integrate connection details into processes in a technically clean manner
  • For projects in Mainz, Mainz-Altstadt and Mainz-Neustadt, check transitions and peripheral zones separately early on.
Direct step: If several points apply, an early on-site inspection is worthwhile for reliable prioritization.
