What happens here
An underground drainage system is installed along the perimeter of the house and patio areas. This involves digging trenches, laying perforated PVC pipes (drain tiles) wrapped in filter fabric, and backfilling with gravel. This system is crucial for managing rainwater, preventing water accumulation around the foundation, and ensuring the long-term stability of the paver patios and deck.
Goal: Prevent water accumulation and protect the foundation and hardscaping.
Tools and materials
- Filter Fabric — Wrapping drain tile to prevent clogging
