How to Drain a Flat Yard with NO SLOPE - Open French Drain to Outdoor Sump Pump
Is your dream walkout basement turning into a waterlogged nightmare? Does your flat yard leave rainwater with nowhere to go but your home's foundation? Don't despair! French Drain Man is here to help you reclaim your basement and banish those drainage woes.
The Flat Yard & Walkout Woe: A Recipe for Disaster
While walkout basements offer unique benefits, their location on flat or negatively sloped yards can be a recipe for disaster. Without proper drainage, these basements become vulnerable to:
Flooding and Seepage: Water easily accumulates around the foundation, seeping through cracks and causing costly damage.
Mold and Mildew Growth: Excess moisture creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew, posing health risks and further damaging your home.
Structural Damage: Over time, the constant presence of water can weaken your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.
The French Drain Man Solution: The Dynamic Drainage Duo
To combat the unique challenges of flat yards and walkout basements, French Drain Man deploys a powerful two-pronged approach:
Open French Drain: A strategic trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe, acting as an underground channel to intercept and redirect excess water away from your home's foundation.
Outdoor Sump Pump: A heavy-duty pump that sits in a basin and automatically kicks on when water levels rise, efficiently pumping water away from your property.
Why This Combo Works Wonders for Walkout Basements
This dynamic duo works in harmony to protect your walkout basement:
The French Drain: Intercepts and collects surface water before it reaches your foundation, preventing it from pooling and seeping in.
The Sump Pump: Acts as a backup for the French drain, pumping out any excess water that accumulates in the basin, even during heavy rainfall.
