Could Our No-Scoria Drainage Solution Be Your Answer?

The weather has never been as wet and forecasts don’t show it stopping. You need to get your drainage problems sorted – quickly. Nobody wants to be breaking their back barrowing truckloads of scoria around their property. The good news is there’s a better way. EXPOL QuickDrain is a no-scoria, light, and easy-to-install drainage solution. Chances are it’s the easiest, most-effective answer to your drainage problem.

Yvonne Saunders says EXPOL QuickDrain’s scoria-free system and light weight were just two of the reasons her family chose it to tackle the drainage around the lower part of their Titirangi section.

The Saunders’ drainage problem
The lower part of the Saunders’ section had poor draining soil. Yvonne says “it meant that part of the garden was only useable for two months a year. In winter, you could walk down there and find yourself a foot deep in mud.”

No more scoria
The Saunders had recently built a retaining wall incorporating scoria-based drainage. “The time and the resource we put into moving and laying scoria was prohibitive,” says Yvonne. “We knew that we didn’t want to do that again. EXPOL QuickDrain delivered the perfect solution.”

Quick and easy installation
On the Saunders’ project, Yvonne and her husband dug trenches and laid 40 metres of EXPOL QuickDrain themselves over the course of a weekend.

EXPOL QuickDrain is essentially a flexible sleeve filled with recycled polystyrene. It is purchased in lengths of 2.5 meters but can also be cut or joined together to create the perfect size for any project.  It even goes around corners!  Burying EXPOL QuickDrain replaces the need to use scoria and creates a drainage solution that is incredibly light to transport and handle. Install is fast and easy….simply dig, insert, and cover.

Yvonne says, “it was so easy to install because EXPOL QuickDrain is light and you can just cut it to the length you want and then easily reseal the sleeve. Where we needed a longer length, we were able to join two lengths together with the EXPOL joiner. If we can do it, anyone can.”

The result
EXPOL QuickDrain is providing excellent drainage performance, long after install. The product has helped make a previously unusable part of the Saunders’ section a place where the family’s children love to play. Yvonne says they noticed the drainage improvement quickly. “We’ve got a trampoline down there now,” she says, “and the kids have a great time jumping down in that part of the section.”
