Buyer's Guide: Protecting your investment starts with moving water away from your foundation. As your go-to
home improvement store and
lumberyard, we provide the professional-grade supplies needed to tackle standing water and drainage issues.
- Should I use solid or perforated pipe? Use solid pipe to transport water from one point to another (like downspout extensions). Use perforated pipe for French drains where you want to collect and disperse groundwater.
- PVC vs. corrugated: which is better? PVC is rigid and offers superior flow rates and durability for permanent underground lines. Corrugated pipe is flexible, easier to install around obstacles, and more cost-effective for simple yard drainage.
- What is the required slope (grade)? A minimum slope of 1% (a 1-in drop for every 8-ft of run) is necessary to ensure water flows consistently and doesn't pool.
- Should I use filter fabric and gravel? For perforated pipes, yes. Gravel provides a reservoir for water, while filter fabric prevents soil from clogging the pipe over time.
- How do I drain a paver patio discreetly? Slim channel drains or "slot drains" can be installed between pavers to catch surface water without disrupting the aesthetic.
- Can the pipe handle vehicle traffic? Standard drainage pipe is not meant for traffic. Use heavy-duty culvert pipe if the line runs under a driveway.
- How do I connect downspouts to the pipe? We carry specific downspout adapters that transition your gutter system directly into 3-in or 4-in underground drainage lines.
- Why use a foundation wrap or membrane? A foundation wrap works as a primary defense, ensuring water never touches the concrete block, while the drainage pipe at the footer carries that water away.
Ideal projects with drainage pipe:
- Installing French drains to eliminate soggy spots in your lawn.
- Extending gutter downspouts away from the home foundation to prevent basement leaks.
- Managing driveway runoff with heavy-duty culvert pipes.
- Protecting retaining walls by installing drainage to relieve hydrostatic pressure.
- Creating curtain drains to intercept surface water on sloped properties.
