When users experience water pooling after rainfall, the problem is often not the turf material itself.
Common causes include:
1. Impermeable Concrete Foundation
A frequent issue occurs when artificial turf is installed directly on:
- Flat concrete slabs
- Poorly drained rooftops
- Sealed surfaces without drainage outlets
Rainwater may pass through the turf but remain trapped underneath.
Recommended solutions:
- Add drainage mats
- Create drainage channels
- Improve surface slope
- Maintain clear water outlets
2. Excessive Turf Density
Higher density does not automatically mean better quality.
Very dense turf may:
- Reduce air circulation
- Slow surface water movement
- Hold moisture longer
A balanced design should consider:
- Fiber height
- Fiber shape
- DTEX
- Drainage requirements
3. Blocked Drainage Holes
Over time, drainage performance may decline due to:
- Dust accumulation
- Soil particles
- Fallen leaves
- Organic debris
Regular cleaning helps maintain long-term permeability.
