Specializing in French Drain Yard Drainage System Installations

Poor landscape drainage can lead to significant problems on your property. It may be bad for the grass or plants in your yard. It can also cause structural damage to your home when excess water makes its way to the foundation and into the basement.

Every home is built with a drainage plan in mind. This drainage plan is designed to prevent water from pooling near the foundation, or anywhere else in the yard. It’s also designed to prevent water running off onto your neighbor’s property – passing the problem along to them. When that plan no longer works and water collects on your property, action needs to be taken.

Bellow are several Calgary exterior drainage systems installation outlined:

Understanding French Drain Installation in Calgary

Discover the effectiveness of French drains, a drainage solution with a rich history. Learn about their origin, how they work, and the reliable services provided by A Green Future for French drain installation in Calgary.

What is a French Drain?
Contrary to popular belief, the French drain system was not developed in France. Named after its Massachusetts creator, Henry French, this ingenious drainage solution has evolved minimally since its inception in 1859. Explore the basic principles of French drains, also known as drain tile or perimeter drain systems, and how they effectively redirect water away from foundations.

How Does it Work?
Delve into the functionality of French drains, strategically placed around the foundation to prevent standing water and structural damage. Understand the simple yet efficient design involving a sloped trench, gravel, and perforated pipe, ensuring excess water is channeled away from the foundation.

Basement Waterproofing with French Drains:
Explore the installation of interior French drain systems as a solution for basement moisture. Learn about the crucial role of professional expertise in ensuring proper equipment, slope, and materials are used for optimal performance.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Install a French Drain in Calgary

Step 1: Site Assessment and Planning
Before starting the installation, assess the site to determine the optimal location for the French drain. Consider the slope, the direction of water runoff, and potential obstacles. Plan the route of the drain to ensure efficient water diversion away from the foundation.

Step 2: Obtain Necessary Permits
Check with local authorities to determine if any permits are required for installing a French drain. Obtain the necessary permits before proceeding with the installation.

Step 3: Contact Utility Companies for Locates
Contact local utility companies to mark and locate underground utilities to prevent accidental damage during trenching.

Step 4: Gather Materials and Tools
Collect all the materials and tools needed for the installation, including:

- Shovel or Excavator
- Perforated Pipe (PVC or Flexible)
- Landscape Fabric
- Crushed Gravel
- Course Sand
- PVC Connectors and Fittings
- Sump Pump (if needed)
- Backfill Material (Gravel, Sand, or Dirt)
- Sod (optional for concealing the drain)

Step 5: Excavate the Trench
Dig a trench along the planned route, ensuring it has a minimum depth of 18 to 24 inches and a width of at least 12 inches. The trench should have a slope of one inch for every eight feet to direct water away from the foundation.

Step 6: Add Gravel to the Trench
Place a layer of crushed gravel at the bottom of the trench to serve as a natural filter. This prevents clogging from organic materials and facilitates water drainage. Use gravel with a size of one-half to one inch and ensure a depth of two to three inches.

Step 7: Wrap Perforated Pipe with Landscape Fabric
Before laying the perforated pipe, wrap it with landscape fabric to prevent weed and root growth. Ensure that the holes in the PVC pipe are oriented downward to allow water to flow from below and prevent clogging.

Step 8: Lay the Perforated Pipe
Place the wrapped perforated pipe in the trench on top of the gravel layer. Ensure the pipe follows the planned slope, and use PVC connectors and fittings as needed.

Step 9: Backfill the Trench
Cover the pipe by backfilling the trench with gravel to grade, or use a combination of gravel and course sand. Alternatively, gravel and dirt with sod can be used to conceal the French drain completely. The chosen backfilling method should allow for easy access or maintenance.

Step 10: Complete the Installation
After backfilling, ensure the trench is properly filled, and the pipe is concealed. Perform a final inspection to confirm that the French drain is installed according to the planned route and slope.

Step 11: Test the French Drain (Optional)
If possible, test the French drain by simulating water runoff to ensure proper water diversion. This step helps identify any potential issues before completing the project.

Step 12: Restoration and Cleanup
Replace any displaced soil, sod, or landscaping elements. Clean up the work area, and ensure the installation has a neat and finished appearance.

Step 13: Maintain Accessibility
If maintenance or future inspections are anticipated, consider leaving a clean-out joint above ground level for easy accessibility.

By following these steps, you can successfully install a French drain to address drainage issues and protect your Calgary property from potential water damage.

Planning and Considerations:
Prepare for your French drain installation project with essential tips, including contacting utility companies for line locates, determining dirt disposal locations, and starting the trench at the end of the drainage system.

WHAT LOCALS ARE SAYING

Client Testimonies

I had this company re do landscaping for my house, and fix the water drainage issue in my back yard. The leader Mr Nasar, who designed and came out the idea how to fix water drainage issue, is very professional and knowledgeable. His workers are hard working provided excellent services. They always come on time, and work late if necessary in order to catch up the progress. They would always accommodate our requests, trying to make us happy. The project was done in late 2020, this year everything looks perfect. I highly recommend this company, and Nasar, Jamal. If I would have another job, for sure will hire them again.
