Splash Pads - Residential
Splash pads are designed to convey roof leader and sump pump discharges away from the foundation walls to minimize soil erosion and recirculation of water through the foundation drainage system. A standard concrete splash pad is recommended with the dimensions of 30cm x 107cm.
If there are no drainage connections to the storm sewer, splash pads are to be placed against the foundation walls at the following locations:
- Underneath all downspouts draining onto landscaping (sod, topsoil and/or gravel)
- Underneath the sump pump discharge where it is draining onto landscaping (sod, topsoil and/or gravel)
The following diagram and picture illustrate the standard dimensions and proper use of the Splash Pad:
