Drain Pipe

Posted on 8:33 AM by cristile



Pictures are hard to get with the amount of sun we are getting. The 4" perforated pipe is in and ready to drain any moisture out of our foundation. We used larger rocks to keep the pipe fixed in place while putting in the gravel and keeping it from pressing against the sides of the ditch.


This is where the pipe Tees and drains away from the house.
