Flood Zone
The homeowner reported recurring flooding at this corner of the home during heavy rainstorms, raising concerns about potential foundation damage.
Excavating Trench and Installing Drainage Pipe
The LRE team carefully removes the artificial turf in the home's backyard in order to excavate a trench and install the underground drainage pipe.
French Drain Installation
The new French drain system is placed along the walls of the corner of the home to assist with collecting and diverting excess rainwater away from the home through the underground drainage system.
Buried Downspouts
The nearby downspouts are connected directly to the underground drainage system to prevent rainwater from discharging around the foundation.
Relief Drains
At the very end of the drainage system, pop-up relief drains are installed to safely discharge the collected rainwater away from the home.
Concealing Drainage Pipe
Once the system has been fully installed, the LRE team conceals the drainage pipe with the previously excavated soil.
Backyard Appearance Restored
The artificial turf is carefully placed over the drainage system to restore the backyard's appearance.
Complete Yard Drainage System Installation
The new yard drainage system is now fully installed and concealed below the surface, providing effective protection against water pooling around the home.
