French Drains on Lebaum

If you have a leaky basement, you should look at installing french drains.  Water comes from the foundation and is sloped down to a trench that is dug in the perimeter of the basement.

The trench is filled with crushed stone and is covered with a fabric to keep small particles from entering the stones.

The drain is connected by PVC pipes to a catchment that sends the water outside.
