Surface Drain

Motoristin Mutsi
by Motoristin Mutsi
During repairing exterior cladding my hubby decided there have to be surface drain beside the wall, too.
So he dug side of the wall open.
And we had a drain project.
Which was put on hang for a while.


Gladly not until fall - even though he said earlier, there is no hurry...


After digging hubby set on it filter fabric- and so it wait.


A week.


And an other.


And an other.
Normal drain would come under the frost line,


but this one is planned just to control surface water.


So it doesn't need to be in so deep.


If we would have basement, situation would be all different


and this kind of drain would be out of question.


Then one day I saw hubby walking with some short length of piping.


He put them into drains he had dug crosswise.

    I've had a water problem too and a "drain project" helped us! It was a LOT of work, but definitely worth it. Thanks!
