I'm installing a French Drain at this house as more of a preventative measure. There are no problems with water getting into the house, but the grade along the side doesn't really allow for water to drain away from the structure. There is no basement along this side, the house is built on a slab-the concern is that saturated ground under and next to the slab could cause problems down the road. This client uses rain barrels to collect water for a very nicely landscaped back yard-and up till now she really didn't have a way to deal with the overflow from the barrels. Part of this project is to go ahead and route the overflow from the rain barrels into the drain line I am installing-and move a rain barrel to the front of the house where it can also overflow into the same line.
