Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, window wells should be filled with at least 12 inches of clean, coarse gravel. Gravel helps the water naturally drain into the earth below. Maintain the gravel over time; if it becomes contacted or mixed with soil, it can more easily clog and cause flooding issues.

Your drain field or leach field should be 1 to 3 feet under the ground. It will be a little shallower than the septic tank, although it can be the same depth or slightly deeper. The proper depth of the septic tank is up to 4 feet. It’s possible that your local regulatory agency requires a certain depth for your drain field.

The process is different for each type of drainage system. But no matter your drainage system type, you’ll have to start by digging a hole or trench. To install an effective French drain, for example, you’ll need to dig a trench, line it with filter fabric, pour gravel inside, hook up pipe connections, set the pipe, and cover it with gravel.

You can use shovels or rent a trencher, depending on the size of the trench or hole you’re digging. You generally don’t need a permit from the city to install a drainage system on your own property, but if the work involves changing a structure or electrical work, contact your municipality to check the requirements.

Your sump pump will discharge water through a discharge line or pipe. The discharge line should be placed at least 10–20 feet from the foundation to avoid any issues.

You will need to fix a saturated leach field if you have a problem with the septic system that is causing improper drainage. If rainwater is pooling over the top of the leach field because of low spots at ground level, repairs are necessary. Options for fixing a saturated leach field include regrading the soil, emptying the septic tank, using a larger septic tank, or replacing the leach field.
