Foundation drain installation work generally involves excavating around the building's foundation to create a trench, installing perforated pipes within a gravel or crushed stone bedding, and covering the pipes with additional gravel before backfilling the trench. The process may also include sealing any joints, ensuring proper slope for drainage, and connecting the drain system to a suitable outlet or sump pump if necessary. When evaluating requests for foundation drain installation, important details include the size and scope of the area to be drained, soil conditions, existing drainage issues, accessibility of the site, and the specific requirements for pipe materials and outlet connections.
