With all the rain in the Houston area lately I have found that water pools up on the side of my house. I dug a trench to the sidewalk as a temp fix the other night, but I want something more permanent. I have looked into French drains where you burry the pvc pipe with the holes in it and water "leaches" into the pipe through the rock put around it during installation. I have also seen where a surface drain is used, but the area I need to drain is about 20' so I'm not sure what good one would do.
Has anyone done this? How did it work? Did you add a surface drain also?
Thanks for any help.
