Foundation drainage can include French drains, surface collection, downspout tie-ins, swales and regrading. The correct solution depends on where the water begins and where it can safely go.
Before installing pipe, identify high points, low points and the intended outlet. That keeps the drainage system from simply relocating the puddle.
Collection is only one part of the job. Filter fabric, clean aggregate, correct pipe type, consistent fall and a dependable outlet all affect long-term performance.
If water repeatedly pools, saturates soil or runs toward a structure, foundation drainage may be part of the solution. The property should be evaluated for slope, collection points and a discharge route.
Not always. Some properties need a combination of French drains, surface drains, catch basins, grading, swales or downspout drainage.
