French drain system

a french drain is a water system that is always at a downward slope so that the water will follow the slope and run off into the proper area. Indeed, there are two types of french drain systems: Type 1 and Type 2. They differ slightly due to their placement. Furthermore, when it rains, water will drain to the bottom of the trench. In a french drain installation, we bury gravel on top of the piping so that water can go straight to the bottom and into the pipes. In addition, we always fill the trench with gravel instead of dirt for three important reasons:

1. It prevents the water from flowing to the bottom.
2. It also clogs the pipes. When the water goes to the bottom, it will start to fill the trench and rise until it enters the pipes through the perforations.
3. The perforated PVC pipes will divert water into the solid pipes to take them to their final destination.
