Drainage System Installation

What happens here

Non-perforated drain pipes are installed to capture water from the house's downspouts, directing it away from the retaining wall. Behind the first course of blocks, a perforated drain pipe is laid in the trench to collect water seeping from the backfill. This pipe is then surrounded by coarse gravel. The non-perforated pipes from the downspouts are connected to the main drainage system, ensuring all water is channeled to the street, preventing drainage issues for both properties.

Goal: A comprehensive drainage system, including non-perforated and perforated pipes, is installed to manage water runoff from the house and behind the retaining wall, preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup.
