What happens here

A worker uses a laser level (or similar grade-checking tool) to measure and mark the desired ground elevation along the building foundation. A long, black corrugated pipe, likely for a French drain or downspout extension, is laid out. This pipe will collect and redirect water away from the foundation. The ground is prepared to accommodate the drainage system and achieve the required pitch.

Goal: Prepare the ground for drainage installation with precise elevation.

Tools and materials

  • Laser Level — Precisely measuring and establishing the desired ground elevation and pitch
  • Long Black Corrugated Pipe — Collecting and redirecting water as part of the drainage system
  • Measuring Stick — Used with the laser level to check elevations
