How Are Foundation French Drains Installed?
What Material Do You Use To Make French Drains?
For maximum durability and effective water channeling, we use 4-inch PVC pipes in the construction of our French drains. These pipes are known for their resilience, longevity, and optimal performance in french drainage systems that are located around foundation walls outside of a home.
Excavation: We commence by digging down to the foundation walls, creating the necessary trench for the French drain system.
Foundation Repair & Waterproofing: Once exposed,we repair the foundation wall. Foundation is normally made from cement and we have a drainage specialist that specializes in repairing cement foundation. Subsequently, waterproofing measures are implemented to ensure complete protection against potential seepage.We Water proof the foundation by applying a tar and membrain.
PVC Pipe Laying: We meticulously lay the 4-inch PVC pipes for your french drains, ensuring they are strategically positioned for the best protection of your home
Integration with Other Systems: While every property comes with its unique set of challenges, commonly, our French drain system is integrated with catch basins, sumps, and occasionally the sewer line to ensure seamless water flow and drainage.
Backfill & Restoration: After laying the pipes, we backfill the trench using a mix of gravel and dirt. Finally, we restore any disrupted sections, which may include repositioning concrete or paving stones to their original state.
