Foundation and Downspout Drainage System
A well-designed drainage system is essential for preventing water damage to a building's foundation. This system efficiently directs rainwater away from the structure, reducing the risk of leaks, erosion, and foundation damage.
How It Works:
Downspout Connection: Rainwater is collected from the roof and directed into downspouts.
Tightline Drain Adapter: The downspout connects to a tightline drain adapter, ensuring water flows away from the foundation.
Non-Perforated Pipe: A sloped, non-perforated pipe carries water further from the building, preventing backflow toward the foundation.
Perforated Drainpipe: Water then enters a perforated drainpipe surrounded by gravel, allowing gradual absorption.
Filter Fabric: A filter fabric wraps around the gravel, preventing soil from clogging the drainage system.
Water Absorption: The water disperses through the gravel and drains safely away from the foundation.
Benefits: ✔ Protects Foundation – Prevents water intrusion and structural damage. ✔ Reduces Erosion – Preserves soil stability around the building. ✔ Improves Drainage – Enhances water management for a safer, drier property.
