Client
had problem with water pooling under his house. He had a sump pump that had
failed several times and when it was running, it would cost him high electric
bills.
1- First we started by
digging a ditch from lowest part of the property.
2- We went deep enough to
pass under foundation formed concreted.
3- Removed the sump pump. We
put a collection container. Connected our drainage pipes to the lowest
part of collection container. We laid wrapped French Drains (perforated
pipes) on top to collect ground water.
4- We passes drain pipe
trough an existing opening made for for other pipes.
5- We extended the drainage
pipe to the lowest part of property.
6- We laid gravel
around the pipes and covered them. No longer water pooling or dealing with
expensive and unreliable sump pumps.
