What Is The Difference Between A Sump Pump And A French Drain?

Sump Pump Functionalityย 
  • ย A sump pump is installed in the lowest part of your home (typically the basement) and collects excess water from around the foundation of the house.
  • The water is then pumped out of the home through a pipe or hose to an area away from the house, usually into your lawn or gutter.
  • Sump pumps are powered by electricity, so make sure you have an emergency power supply in case of power outages or flooding.
  • Sump pumps are ideal for basements that have been waterproofed correctly since they only remove water that has already found its way inside.
French Drain Functionality
  • A French drain is installed outside your home along the foundation walls to prevent water from entering in the first place.
  • ย It consists of perforated pipes which are buried in gravel to allow water to travel through them easily while still preventing soil erosion.
  • The pipes lead away from your foundation and empty into a drainage ditch or other area outside of your property line.
  • It’s important to keep up with regular maintenance on French drains as debris can block them over time and reduce their effectiveness.
  • French Drains are best for homes with poor drainage systems or those built on sloped terrain as they collect groundwater before it reaches the foundation walls.

What Are The Building Code Requirements For A French Drain?

Generally, when installing a French drain, there should be enough slope in the land so that the drain will work properly and it must also be deep beneath ground level to avoid issues like security, weeds, or pests.ย 

Furthermore, size requirements depend on local weather conditions – longer and wider channels would generally be required in wetter climates than dry ones – though this should always follow local regulations. Knowing these requirements is essential for anyone looking for the stress-free installation of a French drain.
