Accurate trench excavation and proper positioning of pipes prevent water accumulation and protect the foundation.
- - Plan Layout - Map out drain placement to ensure proper slope toward the discharge point.
- - Excavate Trench - Dig a trench with a consistent slope, typically 1-2% grade, for effective water flow.
- - Install Drain Pipe - Lay perforated pipe in the trench, ensuring holes face downward for optimal drainage.
- - Add Gravel Bedding - Cover pipe with gravel or crushed stone to facilitate water movement and prevent clogging.
- - Backfill and Cover - Fill the trench with soil, ensuring the drain remains undisturbed and properly covered.
Foundation drain installation work generally involves excavating around the perimeter of a building's foundation to create a trench, installing a perforated pipe system within the trench, and covering it with gravel or other suitable material to facilitate proper drainage away from the foundation. The process may also include connecting the drain system to a designated outlet or drainage area and ensuring proper slope for effective water flow. When evaluating requests, key details such as the size and depth of the trench, type and specifications of the piping, existing site conditions, and the extent of excavation required are important factors to consider for assessing scope, cost, and feasibility.
