Fixing a Wet Lawn

What happens here

With the trench lined, a corrugated, perforated drain pipe is laid horizontally along the bottom of the fabric-lined trench. This pipe will collect and channel the water. Simultaneously, a separate non-perforated pipe is installed alongside the house. This pipe is designed to capture water directly from the downspout via a drain box and divert it away from the foundation. The non-perforated pipe runs parallel to the French drain but does not directly connect to it, preventing downspout water from entering the French drain system prematurely, especially in freeze zones.

Goal: Place the perforated French drain pipe and establish a separate non-perforated pipe system for downspout runoff.
