JR_ Honored Veteran Registered: 03/13/09 Posts: 15232 Loc: Rhode Island French Drain Q       08/28/12 08:35 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   I need to drain the soil around my house and carry away the rain water off the roof. No gutters and I don't want them. I want a french drain directly below the drip line from the roof. I have the needed elevation to carry the water away rather quickly. The property slopes about 30 feet from the structure and drops down 5 feet or so. How much should the perf pipe pitch per 10 feet of flow? How far down should it be at a minimum at the start of the run? What do I line the trench with? Perfs in pipe up or down? I need a How-to from someone who's done this. Thanks J Post Extras
