OT! Drainage

[Anonymous-0]

I know you use perforated plastic drain tile around a footer to keep water out of basement, but do you also use perforated to drain the downspouts? they go to a seperate drain accrosed
the yard. thank you

No, you want to get the water as far from the house as you can. And when you put in a new trench, if you have perf tile, it can flow back through the loose soil.

No unless you have some special reason.......Don

They make the same black plastic pipe without the perferations- I use it attached to my downspouts to duct water behind my hedges out of sight until I can empty it on the downhill grade away from the foundation of the house
