A Dry Well Drainage System Can Stop Your Yard from Flooding When It Rains
If your yard floods every time it rains, that can be more than an eyesore and an inconvenience. Pools of water can cause erosion that can seriously damage your landscaping. If water collects near your house, it can cause cracks in the foundation. Water that gets into the basement can even cause thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to your home’s structure and its contents.
Flooding in your yard can also spell trouble for your neighbor. If water pools in a particular area and runs downhill, it can flood the property next door. A dry well drainage system can be an effective way to redirect water and prevent your yard from flooding when it rains.
How a Dry Well Drainage System Works
A dry well consists of an underground storage tank that collects water. A dry well is placed in the lowest part of the yard to take advantage of gravity. When it rains, water naturally flows to the dry well tank via a pipe.
The water then gradually gets released through holes in the sides of the tank. That process allows water to slowly filter into the ground instead of causing flooding in one or more areas.
Building a dry well can be a simple way to improve drainage and prevent water from damaging your house and your property. Since the tank is located underground, it will be out of sight and won’t take up valuable space in your yard.
