As an experienced plumber in Annapolis, MD, Guardian Plumbing knows you want to keep your home safe and dry. Things like sub-pumps and french drains can help accomplish that. Here’s what a french drain is and why you should consider getting one to protect your home.
If your home is subject to a lot of water that tends to pile up outside of your home when it rains, chances are that you already have a sub-pump installed that helps removes the water that actually enters your home. A sub-pump will pump the water out of your basement typically through PVC piping to the outside of your home. This is great for protecting your basement, however, your sub-pump can fail, and you want to help your sub-pump as much as possible. This is where a french drain will help drastically.
A french drain is designed to divert excess water away from your home. A french drain is a trench that will be dug around the outside of your home on a downward slope and then covered with gravel.
