French Drain & Curtain Drain Installation

Norwich, CT

Permanent fix for a chronically wet basement and standing-water yard. French drain at the foundation tied into an uphill curtain drain to intercept groundwater.

Scope of Work

  • Drainage assessment and slope survey
  • Foundation French drain (perimeter, 4-inch perforated)
  • Uphill curtain drain interceptor
  • Daylight discharge to safe outfall

Challenges

Property sat downhill from a paved cul-de-sac that funneled storm water straight into the back yard every heavy rain. Sump alone was failing because surface water was overwhelming it from above.

Outcome

Basement has been dry through two full wet seasons. Owner removed the sump after the first spring. No callbacks.
