Foundation drains installed



We have two types of drains in in the ground by the foundation. The first is the rain gutter drainpipe which will capture all of the rainwater off the roof and send it to the public storm drain system.


The second is a foundation drain that is perforated and will capture all the water in the ground right next to the house. The purpose of this one is to get all groundwater away from the foundation and into the storm drain system. Both of these drainage systems are required because of the severe slope on the lot.
