Electro Drains drainage method not only spares your garden but it also protects our environment. \nUnlike traditional drainage methods, electrical electroosmosis has no negative environmental impact, neither during manufacture, installation nor operation. \n\nThe facility emits no radiation, and the annual energy consumption is less than EUR 10 for a normal-sized villa. \nOnce the system is installed, no supervision or maintenance is required as it regulates itself.<\/p>\n
Studies also show that electrical electroosmosis helps to reduce any radon gas in the basement as well as having a positive effect on the thermal insulation due to the heat loss in a dry wall being lower than in a damp one.<\/p>\n
Let us compare this with traditional drainage methods. \nIn addition to all the energy used to dig, transport soil masses, drainage pipes and building materials, the manufacture of the cellular plastic mats used is a very energy-intensive process with a negative environmental impact. \n\nThe foam also contains toxic flame retardants and styrene; a strong neurotoxin that is suspected of damaging the genome. \n\n During their life span the mats emit pentane, a substance that contributes to the so-called summer smog.<\/p>\n
Similar detrimental environmental aspects are found in the PVC pipes used to divert the water. \n\nPVC is produced in a complicated, energy-intensive chlorochemical process where, among other things, stabilizers of heavy metals are used as well as environmentally harmful additives in the form of mercury and flame retardants. \n\nPlasticized PVC releases large amounts of allergenic and endocrine disrupting plasticizers, so-called phthalates.<\/p>\n
