TerraDrain1

TerraDrain® C-50

TerraDrain® C-50 prefabricated chimney drains are constructed by fully wrapping a moderate strength, moderate flow capacity, formed polystyrene perforated core with a nonwoven filter fabric. The filter fabric is bonded to the core to prevent soil intrusion into the flow channels while allowing water to freely enter the drain core from both sides.

TerraDrain® C-50 chimney drains are available in 12”, 16” and 24” widths and provide a time saving, effective drainage solution for reducing hydrostatic pressure against retaining walls where full wall coverage is not required or is not feasible.
