Moore Oklahoma was the location of our most recent French Drain Installation.  Our customer had a problem that is very common.  Every time it rained, she had a large pond in her back yard.  Water stood there so long that her normally nice Bermuda Grass died out because it was under water so long.  Her house was in a new sub division and her house was one of the first houses to be built.  When she moved in she had no neighbors and no Drainage Issues.  As new houses were built behind her and on both sides, the standing water in her back yard started to be a problem and progressively became worse.

This happens in almost every new housing development.  As new houses come in and are being built, the pad that the houses are built on becomes higher and higher.  Each new builder brings in more and more dirt so all the water runs downhill on to the neighbors that have existing houses.  The oldest homes in most neighborhoods have the worst drainage problems.  The newer homes are higher.

To solve our customer’s drainage problem, we installed a 4 inch ADS French Drain with a trench liner and a Soc Filter around the Drain Pipe.  To dig the trench for the French Drain, we had to start digging by hand in 6 inch deep standing water.  As the digging progressed toward the exit point at the street, the water started to drain in the trench before we even had the drain pipe or the gravel installed.  As we dug the mud was put into a wheel barrow and taken to a waiting dump trailer.  Each shovel of mud had to be hauled away immediately to prevent it becoming a huge muddy mess.

Next we installed the trench liner in the trench and then placed the ADS French Drain Pipe in on top of it.  The only thing left was to bring in 67grade crushed limestone to fill the French Drain Trench.

The Standing Water flowed away immediately and the surrounding ground began to dry out.  Drainage Problem solved.

FRENCH DRAIN  CONNECTED TO GUTTERS

Many different types of Drains can be hooked together by one Drain Pipe.  The Drain Pipe then running to an Exit Point makes up a Drainage System.  One common type of Drain used in a Drainage System is A “French Drain.”  Many times a French Drain is installed close to a building foundation or in a low area next to a home or business.  This puts the French Drain in close proximity to Gutter Down Spouts.  Rather than have water come off the roof and out the Down Spout and on to the ground below, many times it is much better to tie a Gutter Down Spout Directly into a French Drain or near by Drain Pipe depending on the Drainage System Design.   Connecting The Down Spouts Directly into a French Drain is much  more efficient and causes suction to occur in the French Drain.  Connection of Gutter Down Spouts to a French Drain makes the Drainage System work better.

One Problem with connecting Gutter Down Spouts into a French Drain is overwhelming the Drainage System with too much water.  Three Gutter Down Spouts is usually OK to connect into a French Drain.  More than 3 Down Spouts can be too many.  The Drainage System Design should also take into account the size of the French Drain and the Gutters.  If you have a large long French Drain or over-sized gutters,  the number of Gutter Down Spouts connected into the French Drain Should be reduced.  This problem can usually be solved by increasing the size of the French Drain Pipe.  This usually means moving up from a 4 inch French Drain Pipe to a 6 inch French Drain Pipe.  Four inch is the most common size of French Drain Pipe.  If you have more than 3 gutter Down Spouts to connect, you should move up to a 6 inch French Drain Pipe.
