Norman Oklahoma French Drain Installation, Water in Floor Vents and Duct Work.
Recently we installed a 4 inch French Drain with Trench Liner and Pipe Filter In West Norman on Harrogate Street. Our customer had a heavy water build up area on the side of her house. Water would pool up during a rain and sink down into her flower bed. Once the slab and foundation of the house got very wet, the water would seep into the floor ducts for their Central Heat and Air unit. This is bad for several reasons.
A wet foundation causes deterioration of the cement. Cracks can occur leading to all sorts of other problems.
Water In your floor vents promotes mold and all the problems that come with that as well.
Oklahoma Drainage Installed 4 Inch French Drain with trench liner and pipe filter about one foot away from the wall where all the water was standing and penetrating the Duct Work. The French Drain ran parallel to the house for 60 Feet. At that point the French Drain transitioned to 4 Inch solid ADS Drain Pipe and continued South an additional 80 feet to a Curb Outlet installed at the street.
We cut the curb and installed a Curb Outlet With Acrylic Concrete to make it look nice and last without chipping.
Along the course of the French Drain, we also connected 2 Gutter Down Spouts Directly into the French Drain..
This provides more efficient movement of the storm water to the exit, but also creates suction in the French Drain behind it.
This is called the “Bernoulli Effect.” If you remember your High School Science Class.
Oklahoma Drainage has used these simple concepts many times to provide a solution to the above problem.
Water still had to be vacuumed out of the Duct Work. But Future water was and is kept out of the Duct Work and Floor Vents. Also the Foundation Stays Dry. No mold or foundation Break Down.
