French Drain for Do It Yourself Project - by Apple Drains, Charlotte NC

[HomePrepper1]

We have window wells that often flood during heavy downpours, water comes into the well from the sides of the window wells, we think it is because water comes from neighbors yard and saturates area near the windows, and their property right next to that side is higher than our property due to their brick driveway. Would a french drain on that side of the house help funnel that water away from basement windows and down to the street?

I did wonder which way the holes went so this is a very appreciated video, simple and easy to follow, for diy nightmares like me (wink thing) cheers lads.

Catch basins are also key to pick up the surface water

Great Video for DIY. Gravel is the Key!

You forgot to line your ditch with fabric.
