Crawl Space French Drain for Kathleen homeowners
The advantage of a Kathleen lot is room. On a small town property the hardest part of a drainage job is finding somewhere for the water to go that is far enough from the house. With acreage that constraint disappears, and it often means gravity can do the whole job.
The disadvantage is that nothing else is carrying water away. There is no storm system, so all the rain that lands on the property leaves through the soil, and a good share of it passes through the ground right around the house on the way.
So we look at the whole lot as well as the crawl space. An interception drain uphill of the house takes water out before it arrives, a perimeter drain catches what still gets through, and where the ground falls away we run the discharge downhill with no pump involved. Where it is level, a basin and pump handle the exit.
Kathleen homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
