What is a Drainage Grate?
Drain grates are covers found on the ground with cutouts to allow water to pass through into drainage systems below. Drain grates can come in circular, rectangular, or square shapes. These grates are often seen on sidewalks and streets in urban neighborhoods and even in yards to decrease standing water levels. Drain grates come in different shapes, sizes, and materials according to the intended use. The grates are placed on top of drain trenches to keep large debris or sediments from passing into the drainage systems and clogging the drainage passages. Clogged passages can cause excess water pooling, unpleasant smells, and other hazards for people and wildlife.
