Homeowners in Mendon had water pooling in their downstairs living spaces. During inspection it was found that one of the downspouts had been directed into a percolation pipe that ran along the foundation. In addition soil and densely rooted plants had been packed against the home, level to the backdoor. Both conditions caused water to backflow into the home during heavy rains.

All plants in this area were removed as well as 9″ of soil depth. French drains were added to capture water entering the area and divert it into separate drywells. The downspout water was also directed into a drywell buried 20′ off of the house. The drywell was fitted with an large access point for future cleanouts.
