Default Re: French Drain Project.

Great looking job, Mega. Reminds me of my own project I did on my house in the burbs about 15 years ago. This house sat on a downhill slope several feet below street grade, and the old drainage system (sched. 40) had failed. I rented a trencher (before my tractor days), and put in the black flexible drainlines with about 10 catch basins. My neighbor, an engineer, came over when I was about 80% done and warned me that this system would never work. Forgot why. It worked well for the 9 years I owned that home.
