How often do French drains clog?

• <div><p>The frequency with which a French drain clogs depends on various factors, such as the amount of debris that enters the pipe, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-installs-french-drains.htm">quality of the French drain installation</a>, the type of grate and filter used, and how often it is maintained. That’s why it’s recommended to clean your French drain at least once a year, whether it is clogged or not. This can prevent clogs and increase the lifespan of your drain.</p></div>

Q: What causes a basement wall to bow?

• <div><p>External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure&mdash;these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent. </p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a sewer backflow preventer?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you&rsquo;re done, now&rsquo;s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.</p></div>

Q: How long does flooded basement cleanup take?

• <div><p>Flooded basement cleanup can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the extent of water damage, the type of water involved, and the need for repairs or mold remediation. Severe cases with structural damage or extensive mold may require longer timelines. Quick action and professional help can speed up the process and reduce overall damage.</p></div>

Q: Can you live in a damp basement?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to live in a damp basement, it&rsquo;s usually not healthy to do so. Damp air affects your breathing, and it also promotes mold growth and pest infestation that can make living in a damp basement dangerous. You should plan to resolve any moisture issues and set up preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.</p></div>
