Flood Zone
The homeowner had long experienced recurring flooding around their home, including areas where water discharged from the gutters' downspouts, raising concerns about potential foundation damage.
Foundation Flooding Concerns
Inspection by the LRE Design Specialist revealed clear signs of damage to the home's foundation and concrete surfaces, indicating the need for an effective drainage system to address the issue.
Preparing for Drainage System Installation
The LRE team began installing the home's new drainage system by excavating a trench to lay the subsurface drainage pipe and French drain.
French Drain and Drainage Pipe Placement
The French drain system and drainage pipe are carefully placed within the excavated trench by the LRE team.
Channel Drain Installation Prep
Carefully measured sections of concrete on the home's back patio and pool deck are removed to make room for the system's channel drain.
Subsurface Downspout Connection
The home's downspouts are connected directly to the subsurface drainage system to prevent water from discharging around the home's perimeter.
Complete French Drain Installation
The subsurface drainage system is fully installed and ready to collect and divert rainwater away from the home. Several catch basins have been placed along the system's path to collect additional water and debris.
Complete Channel Drain Installation
The LRE team has fully installed the new channel drain on the home's back patio and pool deck to collect and divert pooling rainwater away from the home.
