Project description

This client was concerned about water run off from the driveway and they wanted to install a Channel Drain to "flood proof" the garage. We discussed the best layout and how the finished job should look, I was able to provide several options for the Channel grates and the client chose to go with these really smart looking Galvanized Steel ones. We opted not to try to color match the existing concrete and keep the new concrete to a narrow strip around the channels. The client was pleased with the finished product and can now have peace of mind next time it rains!
