Landscape Drainage Systems for the Portland Metro Area
A french drain has more than one function. It is a channel to carry water away from unwanted areas, but also acts as a storage container until the water has had time to be absorbed back into the ground in a chosen area away from structures and walking areas. A french drain is a great way to deal with standing or slow moving water in the lawn, but the main idea is to get the water under ground and not see any standing or moving water on the surface.
As good as a french drain can be, it is still important to take account of all the sources that put the water in your yard to start with. Gutter down spouts, crawl space sump pumps, A/C drain pipes, etc. all need to be piped away from the house, but don't need to redistribute the water back onto the surface. Instead it is a better practice to tie these systems directly into the french drain so the excessive water is out of the lawn altogether. Any other problem areas where water likes to collect should also be addressed with catch basins, channel drains, etc. to get water moving under ground and away from traffic areas.
When a foundation drain is installed around a structure it is important to have an adequate system to move this water away from the structure as so the water is not reabsorbed back near the foundation. A french drain work great for this as well. French drains and foundation drains are almost the same kind of system, and work hand and hand together to catch run off of the structure and excessive ground water and channel it away.
After a drain system is installed, you have the problem of a muddy lawn. That's why it's great to hire a landscape contractor for your drainage system instead of a plumber. When the plumber is finished digging, he's finished with the job, leaving you to take care of the mess. The pros at American Landscaping Service know all about lawn care and sod work. After the dig, have us repair the lawn and replace it with new sod.
