French Drain & Catch Basin Installation
Installing French drains and catch basins is a popular way to address yard drainage problems. They collect and redirect surface and ground water to keep it from your yard and minimize basement crawlspace moisture issues.
What is it? French drains are trenches that redirect surface water and groundwater in your yard away from a particular area. The trench is typically filled with rocks or gravel, which surround a perforated pipe.
Do I need one? If you're dealing with a wet basement, a soggy/muddy lawn, or are considering building a retaining wall, a French Drain might be the perfect solution for you. A consultation from Carolina Drainage Solutions will help you determine if a French Drain is the right solution for the water issues you are dealing with.
Downspouts, Discharge Lines
& Cleanouts
One effective strategy to keeping water out of your yard is to never let it on your yard in the first place. Piping downspouts ensure the water running off your roof does not get deposited on top of your yard to create a mess.
What is it? Downspouts are attached to your gutters to divert rain water off the roof to a desired location. You will typically see an extension elbow (discharge line) that takes the water further away from your foundation. Carolina Drainage Solutions will frequently suggest the addition of a cleanout to your discharge line. A cleanout makes it so any clogs in the line can easily be cleaned out without having to tear up the surrounding yard. Simply pop off the cap of the cleanout, and remove debris manually or a pressure washer or hose.
Do I need one? The short answer is yes, everyone needs downspouts to complete their gutter system. Carolina Draining Solutions can install downspouts with discharge lines and cleanouts to existing or new gutter systems.
