Inspection and planning in West Texas

Inspect downspouts, negative grading and ponding along slab edges. A French drain needs filter fabric, suitable aggregate, slope and a lawful discharge point; surface grading or gutter extensions may be more appropriate for surface runoff.

Across the South Plains, expansive clay can shrink in drought and swell after rain. Caliche hardpan depth and continuity vary by lot; excavation and bearing conditions must be checked on site. Summer heat and wind affect moisture and curing, while freeze-thaw cycles and poor drainage can accelerate damage.

Questions about Drainage & French Drains

Will a French drain solve every drainage problem?

No. Surface runoff may need regrading or an inlet system. Subsurface drains need a viable outlet and should not discharge onto neighboring property.

What should a drainage & french drains inspection include?

Inspect downspouts, negative grading and ponding along slab edges. A French drain needs filter fabric, suitable aggregate, slope and a lawful discharge point; surface grading or gutter extensions may be more appropriate for surface runoff.

Where should a drain discharge?

A drain needs a lawful outlet with sufficient fall or an appropriately designed pump system. Ask how the plan avoids sending runoff onto neighboring property.

Can caliche affect a French drain?

Hardpan can slow excavation and affect how water moves. The installer should inspect depth, trench slope and outlet elevation before specifying the system.
