Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the scope and site preparation.

When installing your yard drainage system, consider the slope of your property. Drainage trenches must slope away from your yard by at least a 1% slope to drain properly

Also, consider how much water you need to drain. If your yard holds a lot of water in the winter, consider installing multiple drains to keep the area dry efficiently. Each municipality has different limits for how much water you can drain off your property. 

Before digging, always call 811. Even if you’re only digging a few inches, you could sever a gas or sewage line. A cut line is a serious safety hazard.

When installing a French drain, the holes in your pipe go down. This allows water to flow from the gravel below into the pipe to be carried away from your flood-prone area. If you’re using a corrugated pipe with slots on all sides, it doesn’t matter which direction the pipe is facing.

French drains are relatively straightforward and cost-effective ways to keep the pressure of standing water from affecting your foundation and remove standing water from your landscape. The installation should last between 30 and 40 years, all the while redistributing both underground and surface water safely away from your home. 

When paired with proper basement waterproofing, a drain protects your home from long-term damage and major flooding during large storms.

Some natural springs can dry up, but it’s far from inevitable. In the right conditions, a spring will continue flowing with water. Certain environmental or manufactured factors can threaten a natural spring, however. Hotter temperatures and decreased rainfall can cause a spring to dry up over time, especially in arid places. The same is true if you use spring water for drinking or irrigation faster than the groundwater replacement rate. Keep in mind that there are intermittent springs, which are active on and off throughout the year. They haven’t dried up; it’s all part of a natural water cycle.
