Oklahoma Drainage – French Drain Installation, Drainage System Design, Expert, Drain Repair
Recently Oklahoma Drainage installed a large 6 inch French Drain in Edmond. The customer had water running under his back porch step and into his basement.
A Free Drainage Diagnostic and Quote was provided. The French Drain design that we proposed would intercept the surface water and subsurface water that was flowing under the steps.
The French Drain design called for a 6-inch French Drain to be installed above and several feet away from the steps. It would run around the house parallel to the foundation and about 5 feet to the East.
It would run past the steps to a point where water must cross the French Drain or run up hill to the steps which in this case was not possible. Once past the steps, the French Drain would transition to Solid 6-inch Drainpipe and continue on around the house to the Pop-Up Emitter downhill in the side yard.
Along the way we attached several Gutter Down Spouts into the Drainage System.
Oklahoma Drainage and Sprinkler Repair has been diagnosing and solving Drainage Problems since 1993.
Diagnosing the Problem
Water has the ability to get into places around your home where you really don’t want it to be. Some drainage problems are easy to solve. Typically water enters the problem drainage area one way from one source. The really tricky drainage problems occur when water enters the problem drainage area from multiple directions and from multiple sources.
Sometimes a secondary water source can’t be seen or identified until the primary water problem source is eliminated.
An example of this occurs when water is running into a problem area in an obvious way over the ground where you can see it.
Simple enough.
A French Drain Was Needed
A drainage system is installed with a surface drain as the “intake” with drainage pipe running to an exit point. Initially the water drains away, and everything looks great.
The next day water is back and is all around the surface drain, but below the edge and it hasn’t rained at all, so no additional water ran over the surface of the ground to flood the area.
The primary water source was solved, (The surface water run off) but the secondary water source was not. Which was sub-surface water, (ground water) running into the area.
A surface drain can’t drain “ground water.” A French Drain should have initially been installed instead of a Surface Drain. A French Drain can drain both Surface Water and Ground Water.
We solve residential and commercial drainage problems.
