With the water table this high, the drain is the primary defence and it runs deep.
Bonaire sits on the lowest ground in Houston County and the water table comes up close to the surface through the wet months. For a basement here that means water arriving from underneath for a large part of the year, under constant pressure.
Drain tile is the main line of defence in those conditions. It has to sit properly below the slab so it lowers the water level under the floor, and the stone bed has to be generous enough to take real volume.
It always ends at a sump on a Bonaire lot, because there is nowhere lower to send water by gravity. The pump gets sized for wet season duty and fitted with battery backup as standard, and the discharge runs far enough out that the water does not return through the soil.
Every Bonaire home gets the same basement french drains scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
