Installing a French Drain Easily Translated by Repair-Home.com

(PRWEB) May 9, 2007 -- Repair-Home.com, an online interactive home repair resource, helps homeowners learn how to install a French drain and provides a variety of other resources to help with indoor and outdoor projects. A new article from Repair-Home.com addresses questions about French drains with advice and instructions for homeowners who want to do the job themselves. Repair-Home.com also offers a forum where homeowners' questions about French drains and other home improvement projects are answered.

"A linear French drain is simply a 'moat' that protects your yard or house from sub-surface or surface water," writes nationally syndicated columnist Tim Carter. Taking traditional advice one step further, Repair-Home.com offers helpful explanations for people with little or no prior experience, "The drain uses gravity to help it carry the water away" (http://www.repair-home.com/how_to/create_a_french_drain.htm).

Home and Garden Television explains, "Good drainage is important to ensure that a home stays dry and free of mold. If groundwater collects in the basement, it is not only an inconvenient eyesore for the homeowner, it can also lead to wood rot and mold."

With advice that is applicable to many different types of landscaping and aesthetic needs, the Repair-Home.com experts point out that a French drain doesn't always have to be limited to one area. "The end of the line for the draining system can be anywhere so long as it ends at a point that will not allow the water to flow back towards your home." The Repair-Home.com forum answers visitors' specific about French drains:
* Do the holes in the pipes go top and side, or bottom and side? (http://www.repair-home.com/QA/answers-french_drains-pg117788592317)
* Do I need to bring the low end of the French drain back up to the surface or keep it below ground? If below ground, how low below the surface should the low point go, so the water stays below ground and doesn't saturate back up to the surface? (http://www.repair-home.com/QA/answers-french_drain-pg117674689531)
* We have a French drain system and sump pumps, but the water from heavy rain exceeds and comes in the basement, which is under the house and below ground level. Help. (http://www.repair-home.com/QA/answers-flooding_in_basement)
