If you face drainage system issues, you must have observed water approaches your base floor soon after a heavy shower and accumulates into muddy pools. Suppose these things bother you, then it’s time for you to install a French drainage system to divert water from your house.

It may aid in minimizing water logging issues. Several people wish to establish a French drain on their own, rather than investing money on hiring a professional.

Common Mistakes in the Installation of French Drain Pipes

However, they must consider a few mistakes that people generally make in installing a French drain. Dallas French drain installation is handy as you may get it installed by professionals having many years of experience.

Factors influencing undesirable French drain installation

Not Considering Underground Mechanics

A standard French drain should be sunken deep below the ground with approximately two feet depth. It probes a risk of damaging pipelines for electricity, gas, or water as you delve down to a trench.

It can be unsafe for you as well as your neighbors. Nevertheless, you must find out the federal helpline number for your locality and reach out for help in case of any such mishap.

The technicians who come to resolve the issue can mark the areas such that you do not unearth those places.

Releasing Excess Water to the Neighbor’s Yard

Owners of many houses use punctured drain pipes to vacate water out of their yards.

These drains get aligned in such a manner that water gushes over the boundary of the house. The accumulated water filters into your neighbor’s garden, thus giving rise to the same issue.

A little misjudgment on your part is likely to weaken your neighbor’s drainage pipes, resulting in water logging at the pond.

Using Crinkled Bendable Pipes in Place of Leveled Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pipes

There are a few choices available when you install drainage pipes for your system. You must opt for smooth PVC pipes rather than plastic ones, as they are perforated and contain slits.

These cuts in the tube are often blocked and hamper the smooth working of the drain.

Wrong Direction of Drainpipe Perforations

The slits in your drainage pipes have a specific direction, to allow water to pool farther away from your property. The punctures on the drain tubes should always be pointing towards the ground.

Many house owners make the mistake of installing drain tubes with the slits facing upwards. The level of water in your French drain gets minimized if you position these holes downward.

Purchasing the Wrong Drainage Stone for the French Drain Tubes

Another significant error that many people make while installing French drains in their yard is buying the wrong stones. French drains require rocks that assist the easy flow of water out of the gutters.

While shopping for these drainage stone, one must opt for clear stone as it is thoroughly washed and cleaned of any dust particles.

The other type of rock is the base stone. This kind of stone contains fine particles that permeate into the holes of the drain tubes, thus clogging them. It may give rise to weak drains even after you invest in French drain pipes.
