Positive Grading with Forged Industries

What Is Positive Drainage?

Positive drainage refers to grading and site preparation that ensures water flows away from buildings, foundations, and critical areas, preventing pooling and saturation. This is typically achieved by establishing proper slope, contour, and drainage pathways that move water efficiently off-site or to designated drainage systems in place.
