Poor drainage in yards and basements can cause all sorts of problems, from hard to control messes and staining to an increased risk of rot and corrosion. Whatever the cause, excess water needs to be removed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Help your home sewage run smoothly and prevent long term damage with the selection of culvert drainage pipes at Ace.

What is a Culvert?

Much like drainage pipes, culverts are structures that encourage the safe and efficient flow of water. The difference between culverts and drainage pipes is that culvers may integrate iron pipes, galvanized pipes and other pipes, but not always.

Culverts can be used for both professional and home improvement projects. For home improvement projects, a culvert pipe, not unlike a drainage pipe, is used to alleviate issues with pooling water in areas like driveways to protect structural integrity for years to come. At Ace, homeowners can choose between corrugated pipes and smooth PVC pipes from leading brands like Charlotte Pipe and Advanced Drainage Systems.

Corrugated Drain Pipes 

Corrugated pipes are inexpensive and easy to install. They can be corrugated or feature perforations, are light and easy to handle when fitting and do not need to be laid in a perfectly straight line due to their flexibility. This also lets them turn corners!

What’s more, corrugated drain pipes offer many other benefits, including:

  • Cost-effectiveness that makes corrugated drainage tubing ideal for draining larger areas. 
  • Increased flexibility to ensure they can cope with natural settling of soil without cracking. 
  • Durability to extreme temperature ranges without splitting or cracking.

Keep in mind, however, that corrugated pipes may require occasional maintenance as they can trap debris and potentially clog.

PVC Drain Pipes

Plastic culvert pipes are made from rigid PVC, which gives them several additional advantages. Because they're rigid with a smooth interior, they can be cleaned out more easily using power tools if they become clogged, and can still be laid around corners using flexible connectors. Additionally, PVC pipes are:

  • Easier to lay at the correct angle for gravity-assisted drainage, and can drain effectively when laid at shallow angles, thanks to their smooth sides.
  • Rigid and strong, and much lighter and easier to handle than traditional drain pipes made from metal or clay and are also less prone to cracking under pressure or impact.
  • More durable, handling greater volumes of water than corrugated pipes.

Plastic culvert pipes are also highly resistant to corrosion from acids and salts compared to metal tubing. While rigid plastic pipes cost a little more, once installed they'll last for years even under heavy water flow working conditions. 

Which Pipe is Right for You?

Whichever type of pipe you choose, there are a couple of things to look out for:

  • You should check that the pipe bore (the inner diameter of the pipe) is wide enough for your needs.
  • Your pipes must have a temperature rating certified for your location, allowing it to with stand sub-zero temperatures as well as high temperatures depending on where installation occurs.

Once you have your drainage pipes, browse drain pipe accessories to make installation and operation more effective. Pipe socks are available separately or already fitted to the pipes, helping to prevent clogging and keeping the pipe's contents flowing smoothly, while flexible couplings let you install rigid pipes around turns.
