Q: How many weep holes do you need?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not the number of weep holes that should be of concern to builders but rather their spacing. Weep holes are usually spaced anywhere between 16 inches on center when using round tubes or wicking materials and 24 inches on center when using open-head joints. This is a more conservative spacing than the 33-inch maximum spacing on center that&rsquo;s mentioned in the International Residential Code. All in all, the total number of weep holes a brick exterior should have will depend on the size of the structure.</p></div>

Q: How do I make good drainage around my house foundation?

• <div><p>The best way to ensure the ground next to your home&rsquo;s foundation drains properly is to divert water away from it as much as possible. While a flood wall can stop water from entering the house, gutters and spouts can help direct rainwater and melting snow away from the foundation. Keep your gutters as clear as possible from dead leaves and other yard debris so they can effectively divert water from your house. Add extenders to the spouts so the water runs out and away from your home, not into the surrounding soil. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of trench drains?

• <div><p>Trench drains have a bit of a reputation as being difficult to clean, so if there&rsquo;s a massive rainstorm that leads to a lot of debris and gunk getting stuck in the drain, you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How much water can a French drain handle?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-water-can-french-drain-handle.htm">how much water a French drain can handle</a>, a well-designed system manages around <b>75 gallons per minute</b>. However, the answer varies based on the overall design, slope, and the type of aggregate material used. Additionally, the size of the aggregate used in the system impacts its capacity, with larger aggregate creating larger voids that are able to accommodate more water.</p></div>

Q: Which is the least expensive basement waterproofing method?

• <div><p>The least expensive basement waterproofing methods include grading soil away from your home, installing downspout extenders on your gutter system, and applying a waterproof paint on the interior of the foundation walls. Installing a French drain is a relatively inexpensive method if you do the work yourself, although it&rsquo;s labor-intensive and can be challenging to install properly.</p></div>
