"Everything went as explained, diagramed, and promised by our System Design Specialist, Mr. Nicolas Hruska.

We are extremely pleased with the final results to take back our homes basement from poor workmanship done by the original builder and owner of our home back in 1979 We purchased the home in 2001 and unknown to us the foundation had been placed on top of clay based sub-soil which was an acceptable building practice back in 1979.

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”

You should always cover a French drain with gravel rather than dirt. Gravel will let water seep into the drain more easily, which means the drainpipe will collect more water and divert it away from your foundation. Dirt over a French drain will also clog the pores in the drainpipe over time, rendering your drainage system useless until you excavate the line and clear it, a time-consuming and potentially expensive process.

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

Trench drains have a bit of a reputation as being difficult to clean, so if there’s a massive rainstorm that leads to a lot of debris and gunk getting stuck in the drain, you’ll spend extra time cleaning it out. Plus, you definitely need to regularly clean the drain, heavy rainstorms or not, to keep it in good condition, adding an extra step to your cleaning to-do list.

Watering your foundation can make a small impact on the soil's stability during a drought, but its effects are still debated. You should only water a foundation if there are no restrictions on the water in your area at the time, if you are trying to maintain consistent moisture in minimally affected soil, or if you're watering the plants that surround your home. Proper landscaping and maintaining well-draining soil are your best bets against foundation issues from a drought.
