What happens here

The initial excavation might involve addressing existing, ineffective drainage systems, like a compromised sump pump outlet pipe. This step involves replacing such components and laying a double layer of plastic sheeting along the prepared trench. This liner prevents water from penetrating the underlying soil and reaching the house foundation. New sump pump outlet pipes are carefully installed within this lined trench, ensuring they are properly connected and sloped to guide water away efficiently. The liner covers the trench from the foundation wall out to the edge.

Goal: Create a waterproof barrier and connect drainage pipes.

Tools and materials

  • Cutter/Knife N/A — cutting plastic liner and pipes, Measuring tape N/A used for measuring liner and pipe lengths, Plastic sheeting N/A
