What happens here

With the river rock in place, the dry creek bed is complete. The final inspection involves verifying that the entire system maintains its intended pitch, sloping away from the house and directing water effectively. The double-layered plastic liner underneath ensures no water infiltrates the foundation. The successful installation means the homeowners will no longer experience water in their basement. Ongoing maintenance involves regularly checking for debris and ensuring the water flow remains unimpeded.

Goal: Verify functionality and ensure long-term effectiveness of the dry creek bed.

Tools and materials

  • Rake N/A — clearing debris from the dry creek bed

all right so we're wrapping up this job now that was just flat along here sloped it you may not look it but it is like a good quarter bubble from this end all the way down to where the dirt is down here her slope in it all down that way pitched up from the house here down in the middle which is about right right about here is where the Swale is that and that's pitched from that side to here there and then put down plastic double layer comparison of water can get through oh into the foundation anymore then we put two inch river rock all the way down and so that way any water that hits this will go down to that plastic and run out but they were getting water in their basement they were tired of it and this is a solution to one of the many problems that you can face with drainage
