Protect Your Home and Landscape with French Drain Systems.

If you're dealing with a flooded lawn or standing water, our French drain system may be the solution you need. French drains are designed to collect and direct water, diverting it away from your property. Whether you have a sloped landscape or a flat yard, we'll ensure that water runoff flows safely and efficiently away from your property.

French Drain System: How It Works.

A French drain is a simple and effective way to manage excess water on a residential property. It is a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that diverts water away from a specific area, such as a basement or yard, to prevent water damage or pooling.

Here's how it works:

1. Identifying the Problem Area: The first step is to identify the area on your property that is experiencing excess water and determine where you want to redirect the water to.
2. Digging the Trench: Next, we'll dig a trench in the area where the water is collecting. The trench should be deep enough to accommodate the pipe and gravel.
3. Laying the Pipe: The perforated pipe is then laid in the bottom of the trench. This pipe has small holes in it to allow water to enter and flow through.
4. Filling with Gravel: The trench is then filled with gravel to a level just above the top of the pipe. The gravel acts as a filter to prevent debris and soil from clogging the pipe and helps distribute the water evenly.
5. Covering the Trench: Once the trench is filled with gravel, it is covered with soil or landscaping material to blend in with the surrounding area.
6. Directing Water Flow: The final step is to direct the water flow to an appropriate discharge location, such as a dry well, swale, or a nearby street.

Protect Your Lawn & Foundation with Professional Yard Drainage Services

Do you struggle with standing water, waterlogged lawns, and potential flooding in your flat yard? With foundations often located below water level, it's essential to safeguard your property with a dependable solution.

Fleming Sprinkler & Drainage can provide you with reliable sump pump installation services. Our team of experts can install sump pumps that effectively collect water from your home's foundation or basement, keeping it from pooling around your property.

Sump Pumps for Yard Drainage

A sump pump is a device that helps to prevent flooding in residential and commercial properties. Sump pumps work by collecting water that accumulates around the foundation or basement of a home and pumping it away from the property.

There are two main types of sump pumps - pedestal and submersible. The pedestal type has the motor mounted above the basin, while the submersible type is fully submerged in water and sealed to prevent short circuits.

Here's How It Works

A sump pump is typically installed in a sump pit, which is a small, cylindrical hole located in the lowest part of the basement or crawl space. When water starts to accumulate around the foundation, it flows into the sump pit. Once the water level in the pit reaches a certain point, the sump pump is activated and begins to pump the water out and away from the property through a discharge pipe.

Some sump pumps are operated by a float switch that turns the pump on and off as the water level rises and falls. Others may be equipped with a sensor that detects water pressure and automatically activates the pump.

Expert Sump Pump Installation

The sump pump discharge line is a critical component, and our experts make sure it is installed away from the home for proper water flow. The installation process includes the following steps:

• Location: The system is installed below water level for maximum efficiency, with a pipe that moves water away from the property to a storm drain or dry well.
• Gravel: The area around the sump pump is filled with gravel or soil, leaving two inches of space on top.
• Check Valve: A check valve is installed on the discharge line to prevent backflow and water damage.

Invest in Professional Services for Your Drainage System

Sump pump drainage solutions can be a great way to protect your property from potential flooding, especially if you have a basement or live in an area with a high water table or heavy rainfall. If you're considering installing a sump pump, it's best to consult with a professional to determine the best type and size of pump for your home.
