Answers: How do you install a dry well for yard drainage?

• foundation drainage installation
• dry well installation
• downspout extension
• yard slope and grading
• corrugated drain pipe

What it concludes

• Corrugated pipe provides more flexibility through freeze-thaw cycles than PVC when installed in shallow trenches.
• Extending downspouts further away from the foundation lightens the load on french drains and sump pumps.
• A 1.5 percent slope over 32 feet provides adequate drainage away from the house.
• The NDS Flo-Well dry well can be expanded by knocking out side ports and adding additional units or perforated pipe for more capacity.
