How Hardscaping Can Help You Deal with Poor Drainage
It’s very important to get a professional assessment of your drainage problem in order to figure out the best solution. Installing the wrong solution can be ineffective and also lead to bigger problems down the road. The drainage landscapers at Leary’s Landscaping provide the most accurate diagnosis and installs all types of solutions for improper drainage.
Installing a French drain is one way to prevent flooding in the yard and basement and damage to the foundation. A French drain consists of a pipe with holes. The pipe is buried under gravel, and water seeps down into the soil, then enters the pipe and gets carried away to another location.
Sometimes, a catch basin is the best solution to a drainage problem. A drain is installed in the ground, and water enters through holes, then gets transported via a pipe to a different location.
A channel drain is another way to deal with a drainage problem. Water flows into an underground drain, but instead of being carried away to a single location, water is dispersed over a larger area.
If water tends to collect in a particular part of your property, a dry well might be the best way to handle the problem. Water can travel to the lowest part of the yard, then enter an underground dry well and be dispersed into the soil.
