What does it mean for your basketball court to be considered pervious? A pervious surface allows water to percolate through to the area underneath rather than becoming runoff. Our modular subbase flooring system provides a high-performance stable base while promoting water drainage. Not only does this prevent puddles from forming on the court but it also reduces the risk for erosion underneath it.
The determination of pervious is related to runoff coefficient. For example, in a 100-year storm, grass which is considered pervious, has a certain percentage of water running off the surface not all the water goes through the grass.
DeShayes Dream Courts pervious courts have a lower runoff coefficient than the same area as grass and allow more water to be recharged into the ground than the same area of grass. Scientific fact and logic would prove DeShayes Dream Courts pervious courts are, by definition, completely pervious.
