Why Contractors Love Installing HydroBlox (and What Makes It So Fast)

Introduction: The Drainage Installation Struggle

Most contractors have battled with installing outdated drainage systems:

• Digging deep trenches to establish slope
  
  
• Hauling in gravel and geotextile
  
  
• Wrestling with pipe fittings and filter fabric
  
  
• Dealing with clogs, collapses, and callbacks months later
  
  

HydroBlox eliminates all that.

Designed to be simple and fast, HydroBlox uses modular planks made from 100% recycled plastic that move water via pressure—not gravity. Contractors can install systems without worrying about slope, gravel, or long setup times.

What Makes HydroBlox Contractor-Friendly?

✅ No Slope Required

Most drainage systems need a consistent grade to function. HydroBlox moves water under hydrostatic pressure, allowing level installation.

✅ Lightweight & Modular

Each plank can be carried by hand. No heavy machinery is required for typical installs.

✅ No Gravel or Fabric

That’s right. No hauling crushed stone. No laying filter fabric. Less material = less labor.

✅ Connects Easily

Planks can be overlapped or fastened using simple stainless steel screws. There are no special tools or pipe fittings to manage.

✅ Faster Backfill

Installers backfill with basic topsoil (no need to import gravel), compact, and move on.

✅ Built for Longevity

Contractors don’t have to worry about clients calling 6 months later because the system clogged, flooded, or collapsed.

Installation Process: Simpler Than Pipe

Step 1: Dig a shallow trench (as little as 6 inches deep depending on application)

Step 2: Place HydroBlox planks touching end to end

Step 3: Use transition boxes if needed to connect to pipes or daylight

Step 4: Backfill with topsoil and compact

Step 5: Let nature do the rest
